Guest Artist: Galan Trio
Description
Greece's Galan Trio performs at Pacific University as part of their Kinesis tour, bringing a program of American composers hailing from the west coast, including Pacific University's faculty member Ryan Francis. Their appearance is underwritten by the Elise Elliot Trust.
”Kinesis” is Galan Trio’s attempt to explore the music of contemporary American composers
by bringing their works together in an original, multifaceted concert program. The project
draws from collaboration between Galan Trio and professors of composition from selected
US Universities, and from the notion of “Kinesis.” Kinesis is an undirected movement of a
cell, organism, or part, in response to an external stimulus. In Greek, Kinesis means
movement, motion. Motion is a fundamental characteristic of all living beings; motion is
what all musicians worldwide have desired during the last couple of years; motion alludes to
continuity and it’s a promise for the future of “Kinesis” itself.
