Chroma.

Ray's silhouette in the lift, the record player on the floor.

Saturday evening Ray performed in a concert piece, Chroma, by Rebecca Saunders. The concert was held in the Town Hall, which is a beautiful building. The musicians were placed at various spots in the hall, some of them moved around carrying their instruments to play in different designated spots throughout the piece. The audience members were encouraged to walk around the space and experience the music at different spots in the hall. With the antique lighting, the elaborate organ, the instrumentalists perched in high in architectural coves, pockets of light, or found at the turn of a corner, in a stairwell, and with the array of music boxes on the stage, the folksy record playng in the lift, it felt a bit like living in one of Joseph Cornell's pieces. I really enjoyed it. Ray took a turn playing the organ and was also spotted in the lift (the elevator) playing a record of what sounded like an old Norwegian folk song.
