    Rediscovering the Music of Lucia Dlugoszewski: Rebecca Lloyd-Jones and Dustin Donahue

    Earl and Darielle Linehan Concert Hall

    Australian 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 colorful textures of sound. By the time of her death, Dlugoszewski’s music was largely unpublished and unrecorded, and her invented instruments in disrepair. In this event, Lloyd-Jones and Donahue will share their reconstructive process, having rebuilt both her scores and her instruments in order to bring this historic and evocative music to life again.
