Missing Piece Presents: Earth/Land - Four Premieres and Improvisations for Violin, Cello, and 100 Handmade Flowerpots

Earth/Land is a collaborative project between ceramic artists, potters, composers, and Missing Piece. Earth/Land is the creation of a handmade, ceramic pitched flower pot instrument of over 100 flower pots and the commissioning of five composers to write four pieces for this instrument and Missing Piece. These composers are Luis Fernando Amaya, Ben Zucker, Shi-An Costello, and Myra Hinrichs/Nate Friedman (co-composers). The project aims to bring together artists and environmentalists across disciplines to have a conversation about the land we occupy and what we create with it.

Artist Bios

Missing Piece is south side Chicago-based musical duo, violinist Dan Galat and cellist Kelly Quesada, who endeavor to commission new musical works and works from other artistic disciplines on themes that inspire others to connect with their community, care for our environment, listen deeply to ourselves and others, and speak out against injustice.
