Harry Partch’s Delusion of the Fury was just performed in NYC at the Japan Society, we saw the closing night show on Saturday. Seeing Partch done complete with staging, choreography, and all the original instruments is rare enough, and this piece hasn’t been done like this since its’ premier in 1969. It was inspiring to see and hear the musical instruments/sculptures that he built to play his 43-tone Just Intonation music, and musical director Dean Drummond and crew did an incredible job. The choreography and performers were also excellent. This was really a once in a lifetime experience that transported the audience to a new world. Bravo!
