Vespers is a 24 hour long composition structured on the liturgical hours and full of poetic references to composers, musicians, other musics, poetry, and painting. With an ensemble cast of over 15 musicians from the DFW experimental, contemporary, classical, and jazz scenes, Vespers places everyone together, rotating in shifts, to build a work that stretches perception, pushes the limits of endurance, and turns presence of mind into a connection with the cosmic.
Kory Reeder is an American composer and performer whose work blends influences from visual art and political theory. His introspective music, described as having a “rarefied atmosphere” (Bandcamp), explores objectivity, immediacy, and the social aspects of musical interaction. His compositions span symphonic and chamber works, field recordings, text scores, and computer-assisted improvisations.
Hailed as “one of the most captivating composers in modern classical music” (Dallas Observer), Kory’s music is performed worldwide in concert halls, festivals, academic spaces, and unconventional venues. A dedicated collaborator, he has worked with opera, theater, and dance, as well as noise, free-improv, and new media artists, pushing creative limits (Chamber Music America). He has held artist residencies at Arts, Letters, and Numbers, The Kimmel, Harding, Nelson Center, and several national parks.
