Musical Churn

Musical Churn, by Nikki Pike & Thomas Dodds, is a cast bronze butter churn transformed into a miniature music hall with synchronized choreographed LED performances. The sculpture, created in collaboration by artist Pike and engineer Dodds, features the Colorado Springs Philharmonic led by music director Josep Caballé-Domenech. The compositions are Pierre Jalbert’s Zones, Wang Jie’s Symphonic Overture, America, the Beautiful, and Anthony DiLorenzo’s For Spacious Skies commissioned on the theme America, the Beautiful in celebration of the Philharmonic’s 90th anniversary season (2016-17).
