Interstellar premiere

A couple weeks ago L2Ork International Ensemble premiered a new work commissioned by the City of Alexandria (VA) Office of the Arts. The ensuing work seeks inspiration from StudoKCA’s Interstellar Influencer (Make an Impact) installation that was on display for the past year at the Alexandria’s Waterfront Park. Featuring performers over 5,000 miles apart, the work tells a story of the asteroid whose impact shaped the Chesapeake Bay 35 million years ago. The premiere once again engages Virginia Tech’s visual artist Thomas Tucker who assisted with the projection mapping element. Check out the video of the event below.
