Grand Band (Vicky Chow, David Friend, Paul Kerekes, Blair McMillen, Lisa Moore, & Isabelle O’Connell) will perform multiple-keyboard music by Steve Reich, Julia Wolfe, Kate Moore, and Philip Glass.
Grand Band is a new piano sextet featuring six of New York City’s top pianists: Vicky Chow, David Friend, Paul Kerekes, Blair McMillen, Lisa Moore and Isabelle O’Connell. Described as "awesome" (Sequenza21) following their performance of Steve Reich’s Six Pianos at this year's Bang on a Can marathon in June, this stunning collection of performers creates a powerful sonic force. Of the group's debut performance, Lucid Culture wrote: “Grand Band had a ball [in the Wolfe], each wearing an ear monitor so as to catch the innumerable, suspenseful series of cues as the gospel licks grew from spacious and minimalist to a joyously hammering choir,” and The Glass declared “the 6 pianists are a super-group of soloists that played what sounded kind of like classical pop-crossover meets post-minimal.” |
