Bang On A Can All-Stars

"A fiercely aggressive group, combining the power and punch of a rock band with the precision and clarity of a chamber ensemble." - The New York Times

Formed in 1992, the Bang on a Can All-Stars is recognized worldwide for its ultra-dynamic live performances and recordings. Freely crossing the boundaries between classical, jazz, rock, world and experimental music, this six-member amplified ensemble has consistently forged a distinct category-defying identity, taking music into uncharted territories. Performing each year throughout the U.S. and internationally, the group has shattered the definition of what concert music is today. The concert features works by Pulitzer Prize-winning composers David Lang and Julia Wolfe, and works by Phillip Glass and Michael Gordon.

This concert is free and open to the public.
