SUMMARY:Sound Liberation & Sahara von Hattenberger / Joanne Kang Duo
DESCRIPTION:Composers Concordance \nDouble Feature \nSound Liberation \n& \nSahara von Hattenberger / Joanne Kang Duo \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComposers \nAndrea Casarrubios\, Gene Pritsker\, Fazıl Say\, Randall Woolf \nPerformers \nSound Liberation \nGene Pritsker – guitar \nSista Zock – poetry/voice \nFranz Hackl – trumpet \nLarry Goldman – bass \nLee Jeffryes – drums \nSahara von Hattenberger / Joanne Kang Duo \nSahara von Hattenberger – cello \nJoanne Kang – piano \nFacebook \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The human mind is not a dignified organ\, and I do not see how we can exercise it sincerely except through eclecticism. —E.M. Forster \nFor Immediate Release – New York\, NY – On Jan. 2nd at 7pm\, Kick off 2026 with a night of genre-defying sound and fearless creativity. The evening opens with Gene Pritsker’s Sound Liberation\, performing an electrifying set that blends classical\, hip-hop\, and experimental sound worlds. Their performance includes he premiere of Pritsker’s powerful suite ‘Gnawa Gnaw’ featuring the poetry of Sista Zock. \nThe night continues with a full set by the stunning Sahara von Hattenberger / Joanne Kang Duo (cello and piano)\, exploring modern lyricism and bold expression. Their program features evocative works by Andrea Casarrubios\, Gene Pritsker\, Fazıl Say\, and Randall Woolf — a journey across contemporary voices from around the world. \nA night of music without borders. Innovation without compromise. \nSahara is the co-founder of “duo étrange” (a soprano/cello duo) that focuses on accessible contemporary music. She released her debut solo album in 2024 entitled “1Q84” for cello and jazz piano trio; a re-imagining of the Claude Bolling Suite alongside 4 new commissions. She is a member of the Chamber Orchestra of New York and plays regularly with other NYC-based orchestras like the New York Pops and American Composers Orchestra. She has been a recipient of 5 different Canada Council for the Arts grants to support new music\, as well as a Chamber Music America grant this year to commission NYC based composer Kebra Seyoun-Charles. Her mission is to elevate new classical music. \nJoanne Kang is a New York–based Australian pianist praised for her “fleet-fingered virtuosity” and stylistic versatility. She has performed internationally as a soloist\, chamber musician\, and recording artist\, collaborating with artists and ensembles including The American String Quartet\, the American Modern Opera Company\, members of the Silk Road Ensemble\, and the late Kaija Saariaho in the world premiere of Semafor. From 2020–2023 she was pianist of Carnegie Hall’s Ensemble Connect\, hailed as “one of the strongest ensembles in the city” (New York Classical Review). \nShe has appeared in venues across the United States\, Europe\, Asia\, and Australia\, including Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center\, the Sydney Opera House\, Seoul Arts Center\, among many others. Joanne holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the Manhattan School of Music\, where she received the Harold Bauer and Helen Cohn Awards. \nSound Liberation\, an eclectic chamber ensemble/band\, was formed in 1996. The band has gained exposure in the New York city area and has generated a loyal core following playing such notable venues as Joe’s Pub\, Wetlands\, Knitting Factory\, The Blue Note\, Downtime\, New Music Cafe\, Cutting Room\, Le Poisson Rouge and many other performing spaces. \nSound Liberation’s musical philosophy\, developed by band founder Gene Pritsker\, is based upon “ending the segregation of sound vibration (i.e. musical Genres)”. The group incorporates its philosophy by performing compositions that encompass a diverse range of musical genre\, heavily influenced by hip-hop and rock rhythms. This enables one to hear elements from classical music to Jazz to music of various cultures at a Sound Liberation show. \n“Pritsker’s band is Wagnerian in its concept and ecumenical in delivery\, inviting all to join on stage for the journey to freedom.” \n“Sound Liberation comes across as more of a worldview than just a bunch of musicians getting together…“ \n– Jazz Weekly\, by George W. Harris • June 9\, 2025 \n______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nStaying in rotation for 42 years in NYC is a rare feat. In the case of a new music presenting organization\, it requires not only diligence and cognizance of achievements of the past but also an ethic of keeping one’s ear to the ground for emerging stylistic and technological developments\, as well as talented new composers on the scene. Composers Concordance\, founded in 1984 by Joseph Pehrson and Patrick Hardish\, advised by Otto Luening\, strives to present contemporary music in innovative ways\, with an emphasis on thematic programming. Directors Gene Pritsker and Dan Cooper co-curate the programs and lead the CompCord Ensemble\, Chamber Orchestra\, String Orchestra\, and Big Band. Associate Directors are Milica Paranosic\, Peter Jarvis\, Debra Kaye\, Seth Boustead\, and Audrey Morse. Composers Concordance has also created a Naxos-distributed record label: Composers Concordance Records. Composers Concordance’s overriding vision is to promote contemporary music\, composers\, and new works as a rightful and respected part of society. Good music performed and recorded well\, pushing the boundaries of sound and composition. \n“Composers Concordance..a veritable New York new music institution of concerts\, album production and multiple ensembles under a sweeping\, tenacious brand\, thriving on the emulsion of contemporary classical\, free improv\, jazz and rock\, overt humor and fearless political statements\, all very much in evidence..The ensemble..was masterful throughout.”-John Pietaro\, The New York City Jazz Record \n“An unwavering force in giving composers exposure through concert bookings and its own record label\, the intrepid new-music organization Composers Concordance” – The Brooklyn Rail \n“The Composers Concordance folks are unpredictable and at times refreshingly irreverent in a reverent sort of way….ingenious fun” – Classical-Modern Music Review \n“Enterprising new music organization” – The New York Times

With so many gifted and talented members\, creating this series was a natural decision and a no-brainer. The baton of music and performance curation was passed on to Ludovica and Alexis by Beverly Grant—a great artist and long-time member since the inception of the Food Coop. Beverly is an artist\, photographer\, singer-songwriter\, composer\, and activist who has greatly contributed to our community. \nJason Weiner and the membership staff have played a key role in bringing this event to life. We thank them for sharing the same joy and respect for the arts\, which enriches all walks of life. Before the shutdown\, this concert series was a crucial and pinnacle way of bringing us closer together as a community that truly cares about the world around us. Art\, in every aspect of our human experience\, is a life-healing force. Alexis Cuadrado and Ludovica Burtone are both professional musicians\, composers\, producers\, and educators. They have expanded the vision of the curation to create a platform for freedom of expression for all. ShapeShifter Lab visionaries Fortuna Sung and Matthew Garrison have also become vital to our mission\, generously providing us with their performance space across the street from the Food Coop. Annie Keating does the magic with social media and Ave Carrillo is helping the group to the production side of things the concert series. \nInstagram

SUMMARY:Max Mahler Quintet
DESCRIPTION:Max Mahler Quintet Journey To The West Suite\n\nJourney To The West is a classic work of Chinese Buddhist Literature written by Wu Cheng’en during the Ming Dynasty. It is the mythologized account of a monk venturing west to bring Buddhist scriptures back to China. Panamanian-American jazz guitarist Max Mahler was inspired to write a suite representing the work as a whole\, converting its fantastical characters and themes into hard bop — echoing the music of Freddie Hubbard\, Joe Henderson\, and Wayne Shorter. The guitarist is joined by Tosh Kachad on drums and Felix Hartley on bass\, as well as saxophonist Theo Kornblum and trombonist Basil Moore.\n\n\n\nMax Mahler – Electric Guitar\nTheo Kornblum – Tenor Saxophone\nBasil Moore – Trombone\nFelix Hartley – Bass\nTosh Kachad – Drums\n\n@maxamahler\, @maxplaysjazz\, @basil_moore2009\, @theo_ksax\, @felixhartleybass\, @feef.s\, @toshkachadmusic
