Don’t miss a spe­cial 50-minute per­for­mance in the Museum’s The­ater of Elec­tric­ity.
The high-energy pre­miere of ZAP!, a col­lab­o­ra­tion between the Boston Museum of Sci­ence & MIT grad­u­ate, Chris­tine South­worth, fea­tur­ing music by Ensem­ble Robot. The per­for­mance will take place in the Museum’s The­ater of Elec­tric­ity, fea­tur­ing the world’s largest air-insulated Van de Graaff gen­er­a­tor stand­ing 40 feet high, pro­duc­ing up to 1.5 mil­lion volts of elec­tric­ity. Com­poser and graphic designer with a degree in math­e­mat­ics and music from MIT, Chris­tine South­worth has com­posed music which will incor­po­rate sparks and sta­tic from the Van de Graaff and sur­round­ing Tesla coils, as well as ampli­fied acoustic and elec­tronic instru­ments played by Ensem­ble Robot and musi­cians: Ramon Castillo (conductor/music direc­tor), Akili Haynes (percussion/voice), Jeff Lieber­man (guitar/keyboard), Sean Man­nion (per­cus­sion), Blake New­man (bass), Erik Nugent (wind/voice), Sachi Sato (key­board), Chris­tine South­worth (sampler/voice), and Rebecca Zook (cello)…
