Two of his latest creations will be played by the The Bergamot Quartet, a rising star on the American contemporary music scene, joined by virtuoso percussionist Ji Hye Jung for a concert of new acoustic and electronic music. The event marks the world premiere of a kinetic, new multimedia project by Peck, where the musicians perform impossible music by augmenting their live performance with video. The program will also include dynamic works by Tania León, Joseph Schwantner, and native Pittsburgher Reza Vali. Reza will be there to take a bow after one of his Calligraphy pieces. The concert takes place Sunday March 1st, 7pm at the New Hazlett Theater. \n\nCharles talks about his work at Lorin Maazel's Castleton Festival in Northern Virginia where he met Maestro Maazel and how his view of technology intersecting with music came together in his early experience in Eastern Pennsylvania."}
