Radan Headlines Trillium Series Sept. 8 at Crystal Bridges Museum
Nikola Radan
The Trillium Series presents an afternoon with Nikola Radan, a conceptual music composer and flautist who will perform original music from his conceptual album Pictures from the Journeys (Les Images des Voyages).
This autobiographical musical story intertwines music cultures from the Americas, Africa, the Balkans, South Asia and Middle East Asia. The concert will be at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 8. It is free and open to the public.
Radan has been pushing boundaries between music genres and world traditions for the past 30 years in order to find common ground between diverse cultures. His music has been published in dozens of albums and premiered nationally and internationally. Radan developed a unique technique for making the conventional flute sound like a traditional flute-like instrument from many world cultures. This particular sound has become a hallmark of Nikola's sound, easily distinguishable in both his personal and group projects.
Radan is the director of the World Music Ensemble in the Department of Music at the U of A. He also teaches music production and music technology.
The Crystal Bridges gallery concerts take place at 2 p.m. on the first Sunday of each month now through October.
