演出简介

Legendary composer Rhys Chatham, “who toys with the expectations of amplified guitars so mirthfully in his punk-influenced orchestrations” (New York Times), is joined by the “Brooklyn psych alchemists” (Pitchfork) Oneida, whose performance at the recent All Tomorrow’s Parties festival was called “some of the best music I heard all weekend” by Ben Ratliff in the New York Times.

This winter, the second annual Ecstatic Music Festival will feature nearly 150 performers and composers from different musical backgrounds who are re-defining music today. In 11 collaborative concerts – all with first performances of new works – the festival will put its finger on the pulse of contemporary “post-classical” music, where lines between genres are blurred and audiences are equally likely to find classically-trained instrumentalists performing in downtown clubs and non-traditional venues as well as concert halls.

Experience an engaging concert at a festival that is both of and about the present musical moment, at Merkin Concert Hall in the heart of New York City.
