March 8th, 2026 — The world premiere of Eric Nathan‘s (CRF 2022) Division of Time, an-hour long work for solo cello, player piano and jugglers, will take place on March 25th at National Sawdust in Brooklyn, NY. It will be premiered by cellist Jeffrey Zeigler and the London-based Gandini Juggling, with a Yamaha Disklavier piano. The New Yorker just highlighted the concert in their spring picks.
The work is a celebration and exploration of music, movement, and technology. Structured in ten sections inspired by the numerals 0 through 9, Division of Time speaks about humanity and its relationship to numbers, weaving a dramatic arc that is both thrilling and touching, complex and visceral, poetic and humorous. The work can be performed as a stand-alone work for cello and player piano (Yamaha Disklavier) or with choreography by the Gandini Juggling.
