Ars Nova Workshop presents a performance by the percussionist, composer and instrument maker Bex Burch at Solar Myth on Sunday, January 11, 2026.

Bex Burch is a composer, percussionist, producer and instrument maker that has carved out a unique sonic space for herself. Her restless creativity and desire to embrace new musical challenges across a range of percussive instruments have led to collaborations with a diverse range of artists such as Peter Zummo, Kuljit Bhamra, Tamar Osborn, Leafcutter John, Mariá Portugal, Tony Buck and Evelyn Glennie. Her recorded music with Boing!, Flock and her celebrated band Vula Viel has seen her straddle the divergent worlds of minimalism, post punk, and improvisation with equal success.

According to The Guardian, Burch’s music “shares some characteristics with the music of Steve Reich and John Adams, but this is minimalism that isn’t afraid to break into a sweat and get its hands dirty.” Her open-hearted, open minded and wide-eyed approach to improvisation continues to break new musical ground.
