"BIKEncerto: a concerto for solo bicycle and orchestra"Ft. Reynaliz Herrera &amp; Ideas, Not Theories Reynaliz Herrera is a musical artist, percussionist &amp; composer based in Somerville, MA. She is also the founder &amp; artistic director, composer and lead performer of the theatrical percussion company for unconventional instruments, “Ideas, Not Theories”.Reynaliz’s work focuses extensively on the use of the bicycle as a musical instrument, and her creative process and goal in general, has been to explore and research the musical bike’s different capabilities by composing and performing her own bicycle music. She performs these compositions with her company “Ideas, Not Theories”.At The Cabot, Reynaliz will be performing her composition entitled “BIKEncerto: a concerto for solo bicycle and orchestra” an inventive work that reimagines the bicycle as a virtuosic percussion musical instrument. In this captivating performance, Herrera will appear as the bicycle percussion soloist, joined by her ensemble “Ideas, Not Theories”, performing as the concerto’s orchestra of strings and woodwinds. Structured in four movements, BIKEncerto explores the surprising musical possibilities of the bicycle — its melodic spokes, frame tubes, tuned tires, chainwheels, and wheel rims, transformed into a rich palette of rhythm, color and texture. Each movement highlights a different sonic character of the instrument, revealing how everyday objects can become vehicles for complex and sophisticated musical expression. By treating bicycles and unconventional percussion with the same seriousness and artistic care as traditional orchestral instruments, Herrera invites audiences to listen differently, discovering beauty, nuance and virtuosity in unexpected places.A 15 min Q&amp;A session will follow the performance of the piece. Reynaliz would like to dedicate this performance to her dad, Jesus Herrera.
