Lost and Found was premiered on September 22 by Michael Compitello in the Tribeca New Music Festival at the Cell Theater, New York, NY.
Drawing on years of close collaboration with percussionist Michael Compitello, the resulting piece is a multi-movement new work for solo marimba with distinctive approach to the instrument that seamlessly integrates traditional playing with unconventional sounds and objects. Lost and Found, builds a narrative of nostalgia and memory from the idiosyncratic union of marimba and junk objects.
Commissioned by Michael Compitello, this work owes it’s creation to the consortium of thirty-three percussionists, including: Megan Arns, Mark Boseman, Michael Burritt, Matthew Carey, Benjamin Charles, Gabriel Costache, Gwen Dease, Corey Denham, Matthew Ernster, Thomas Faulkner, Maria Finkelmeier, Ben Fraley, Adam Groh, Piero Guimares, Sean Harvey, Ji Hye Jung, Ayano Kataoka, Tony Kirk, Terry Longshore, Colin Malloy, Dan Morphy, Chris Jackson, Yun Ju Pan, Robert Rocheteau, Matt Sharrock, Chris Sies, Neil Sisauyhoat, John Smigielski, Jeff Stern, Jen Torrence, Mike Truesdell, Eric Willie and Andrew Wright.

Jennifer Backhaus’ latest work for the company features an all-female cast of 10 dancers. Expressing a strong sense of unity and celebration of women, it lyrically reveals their strength, determination and ability to move forward.
Known for her quick and clever choreography, Backhausdance’s founder and artistic director explores themes of continuity, flow and perpetual motion. Taking its cue from life, the work follows a non-linear line of momentum where one movement leads to another and ricochets, bouncing back and forth and creating radiant vivacity.
