Featuring music by Brian Eno and Steve Reich, plus Shabazz Palaces and Jherek Bischoff.
New York's celebrated new music phenomenon Bang on a Can takes over The Moore Theatre for the group's signature event, the Bang on a Can Marathon, co-presented by Seattle Theatre Group and On the Boards. Co-curated by Jherek Bischoff, the Marathon will feature six hours of live music by some of the most innovative musicians from across the country alongside some of Seattle's most pioneering artists, in an incomparable super-mix of boundary-busting music from around the corner and around the world.
Bang on a Can Executive Director Kenny Savelson says, "The Marathon has been our signature event in New York since 1987. There is so much interesting and innovative music being made in Seattle, so when we were looking at doing a Marathon outside of NYC, we really wanted to bring it here."
The concert kicks off at 4pm with Bang on a Can's renowned live performance of Brian Eno's ambient classic Music for Airports and closes with the Bang on a Can All-Stars and redfishbluefish (UC San Diego) performing the Seattle premiere of Steve Reich's masterwork Music for 18 Musicians. The sets in between promise to be highlights as well and include an exceptional indie-orchestral collaboration featuring Jherek Bischoff with Scrape Ensemble and composer Jim Knapp a new electronic offering from multi-experimental Morgan Henderson (Past Lives, Fleet Foxes, The Cave Singers) other-worldly viola/voice duo Eyvind Kang and Jessika Kenney piano-percussion pair Gust Burns and Greg Campbell the "honed and primal, chromed and primo sonic action" of Shabazz Palaces, Seattle premieres of signature works by Bang on a Can co-founders composers Michael Gordon, David Lang, and Julia Wolfe and more.
