"New music the way it should be presented--with passion, precision,
dynamism, stylistic authority, and a welcoming informality."--New York Newsday
Born out of the energy and excitement of New York's Bang on a Can Festival,
this ensemble of six brilliant musicians--part classical ensemble, part
rock band, part jazz sextet--offers an eclectic supermix that includes an
ingenious new Don Byron score to a classic Ernie Kovacs TV show, fresh settings
of vintage Velvet Underground lyrics by Bang on a Can founder David Lang,
the Midwest debut of Skeleton Crew (the latest Walker-commissioned
work by Minneapolis composer Jeffrey Brooks), and other recent pieces. Discover
the sound of a new generation. Come early and join Walker performing arts
curator Philip Bither for a free preperformance discussion with Lang and
Brooks.
