Program Notes

The Pocket-Sized Funk Machine by Matthew Kilby is a complex, challenging percussion ensemble written for 12 players. This piece is referred to by the composer as a "malfunctioning music box," with an off-kilter, absurd, and intense energy that is a thrill for performer and audience alike.
