2220 Arts presents Erik Hall in a solo performance of Simeon ten Holt’s masterpiece of minimalism, *Canto Ostinato*. Over four years, two studio albums, and concert performances of myriad iterations, Erik’s journey with the iconic piece has been praised by Bandcamp Daily, NPR Music, The Wire, and The New York Times. Following his 2023 solo interpretation, this past April saw the release of his new chamber orchestra adaptation alongside NYC’s Metropolis Ensemble and Sandbox Percussion. For this intimate performance—his LA solo debut—Erik will present the continuous hour-long piece on a Fender Rhodes electric piano. ~ Erik Hall is a musician and composer in Michigan.
