Pleiades is an epic percussion sextet by legendary composer Iannis Xenakis. Performed on more than 50 instruments, the work features a remarkable set of six microtonally tuned metal keyboards known as the Sixxen, specially built by Artistic Director Caleb Herron. Unlike anything you've heard before, the Sixxen create a singular, shimmering sound that has to be experienced live.
The remaining movements showcase an expansive percussion palette, from the powerful drums of Peaux to the marimbas, xylophones, and vibraphones of Claviers. Chamber Cartel's percussionists — Jeremy Muller, Aaron Michael Butler, Paul Stevens, Khesner Oliveira, Victor Pons, and Caleb Herron — bring Xenakis's monumental score to life.
Goat Farm hosted the Southeastern premiere of Pleiades in 2015, and Chamber Cartel is thrilled to share this bold, strange, and exhilarating masterpiece with Atlanta once again.
