Beats to Brooklyn

This Friday, November 4th is shaping up to be killer time at Brooklyn's Cafe Orwell!  Thanks to Iktus Percussion Quartet for bringing together a very cool and diverse lineup.  The show was even a Time Out New York critic's pick, which is awesome.  For you social media blitzers, here is the Facebook invite.

Here's how it's gonna go down...

Iktus Percussion will open the evening with some serious glockenspiel rockenspiel in the form of Steve Reich's Drumming Part III in addition to an excerpt of Dark Full Ride, a face-melting drum set quartet by Julia Wolfe.

Next will be three short solo sets from myself, bass master general Lisa Dowling, and the inventive french horn/accordion guru Nathan Koci.

Rounding out the evening will be an Iktus/Elevator Rose team up for Philip Glass' entrancing work Music in Similar Motion.

8pm, suggested donation, map.
