PostClassic

Kyle Gann on music after the fact

Upcoming Appearances

Several performances of my music, or in which I am involved, are coming up. First of all, percussionist Andy Bliss will play my vibraphone piece Olana on a concert in Chicago this Sunday, Oct. 4, at the Chicago Temple, 77 Washington Street, at 2 PM. The concert, a duo with pianist Mabel Kwan, also includes pieces by John Luther Adams, Julia Wolfe, Eve Beglarian, Alvin Singleton, and others – looks like a great lineup.

Sarah Cahill is giving several performances of her A Sweeter Music project, on October 12 in New York City, October 18 at the Mill Valley Film Festival, and Oct. 24 at Swedish American Hall in San Francisco. The Mill Valley concert will include my War Is Just a Racket.
Peter Esmonde’s documentary Trimpin: The Sound of Invention (in which I am interviewed) plays the Woodstock Film Festival, appearing at Upstate Films this Saturday, October 3, at 9:30. It’s been playing all around the country too, so you should keep track at the link.
The East Coast tour of my son’s black metal band Liturgy winds up at Bard College tomorrow night, October 2. I’ll be there, too.
