The Sound of Refusal— Music by Toby Driver

The Sound of Refusal— Music by Toby Driver

Presented by Ludovico Ensemble and Tufts University Department of Music at Distler Performance Hall, Granoff Music Center

Toby Driver is a composer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist best known as the creative force​ ​behind the seminal avant-garde metal band Kayo ​Dot. Ever the musical polyglot, Driver’s rejection​ ​of idioms has resulted in a vast, unpredictable​ ​discography full of risks and liberties that invokes​ ​influences from every age and place, while never​ ​settling on one palette of colors, and a career​ ​that has brought his music to a considerable​ ​breadth of venues from thousands-capacity​ ​metal festivals to classical concert halls, and​ ​from basement concerts to the 57th Biennale di​ ​Venezia. Tonight, he joins the Ludovico Ensemble​ ​in performing new arrangements of music from the Kayo Dot album Gamma Knife, selections​ ​from his solo album They Are the Shield, and ​Pale Hesychasm.​ ​Nicholas Tolle and Jennifer Ashe will give the​ ​world​ ​premiere performance of Parapuká Vená​ ​for voice and cimbalom.
