The Music of Lucia Dlugoszewski: Rebecca Lloyd-Jones and Dustin Donahue
Earl and Darielle Linehan Concert Hall Earl and Darielle Linehan Concert HallCatonsville, MD, United StatesAustralian percussionist Rebecca Lloyd-Jones and UMBC percussion faculty Dustin Donahue present the enigmatic work of Lucia Dlugoszewski (1925–2000). A renowned composer for the Erick Hawkins Dance Company, Dlugoszewski spent a lifetime searching for radical new ways of making sound, inventing hundreds of percussion instruments designed to create delicate and color textures of sound. By the time of her death, Dlugoszewski’s music was largely unpublished and unrecorded, and her invented instruments in disrepair. Lloyd-Jones and Donahue have undertaken a reconstruction process, working through her archives and in collaboration with performers of her music, to bring this historic and evocative music to life again.
