Ring of Fire @ Sierra Madre Playhouse
Ring of Fire: Music from Around the Pacific
California sits on the eastern edge of the Pacific’s Ring of Fire, a vast circle of volcanoes and seismic energy encompassing nearly 75% of the planet’s active volcanoes. Brightwork embarks on a musical voyage across this ring—from Peru to Cambodia—revealing the interconnected voices and rhythms of cultures that share this dynamic boundary. The program features Akshaya Avril Tucker’s Melting, Gabriela Lena Frank’s Hilos, Chinary Ung’s Spiral VI, and Andy Akiho’s Lost on Chiaroscuro Street, performed by Aron Kallay (piano), Shalini Vijayan (violin), Maggie Parkins (cello), and Brian Walsh (clarinet).
