Saxophonist Myles Boothroyd Performs Grito del Corazon

Saxophonist Myles Boothroyd is performing Grito del Corazón on a program called Text/Painting: Contemporary Saxophone Through the Lens of Three Artistic Media. He will perform the piece, scored here for alto sax and electronics,  with the accompanying video by Kathy Aoki inspired by Goya’s Black Paintings. The program also includes Chen Yi’s Monologue, inspired by The True Story of Ah Q, by the poet Lu Sun. In addition, Dave Heath’s Coltrane is based on the music and legacy, while also showing influences of North Indian music. The entire program showcases the interplay between musical styles and art forms.
