Nakatani Gong Orchestra in New Orleans Tonight

From NOLA.com:

The Nakatani Gong Orchestra will perform an interactive concert with New Orleans sound sculptor Taylor Lee Shepherd’s “Alterpiece” Saturday (Nov. 22) at 8 p.m.  at St. Maurice Church (605 St. Maurice Ave.) in the Lower Ninth Ward. The Kennedy Center website describes the music like so: “The unconventional, uncontrollable, and unpredictable qualities of gong sounds are percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani’s passion. Having played bowed gongs for over ten years, he has toured and performed all over the U.S. and internationally with his array of instruments, many of which he created himself.”
