SUMMARY:Sameer Gupta + Ben Tyree = Unruly Neighbors
DESCRIPTION:Unruly Neighbors is an improvisational duo based in Brooklyn\, NY composed of guitarist Ben Tyree and drummer/percussionist Sameer Gupta. In 2020\, the duo heard the increasingly urgent call for co-creating new visions for what the world could look like post-pandemic. They answered with their joint debut recording project\, Unruly Neighbors (Sonic Architectures) – a largely improvisational sculpture of electric and acoustic sound that is\, at once\, emotive\, gritty\, and transcendent. Experience their eclectic and supernatural improv duets on their latest release\, Catalytic. The album weaves a contrast of Tyree’s searching\, dark and\, at times\, piercing tone with the tickling\, trance-inducing drive of Gupta’s hybrid tabla/drum kit\, creating dream-like washes of sound that play out to the many tensions and uncertainties of these times. Expect the unexpected.

SUMMARY:TAKE OFF COLLECTIVE
DESCRIPTION:Ole Mathisen\, Matt Garrison and Marko Djordjevic\, a.k.a Take Off Collective\, will place you into the eye of a sonic hurricane! Their brand of genre unifying virtuosic storytelling through improvised music\, engages the listener’s imagination. \n(Shifting between open-ended cinematic passages; steamroller\, head-banging funk-core; faster than fast swing; and points in between\, each Take Off Collective performance is a case study of what happens when music becomes a playground for new possibilities.) \n(Built on 30 + years of musical friendship\, dating to their days at Berklee College of Music in the early nineties\, Take Off Collective is an honest\, interactive

SUMMARY:Jon Elbaz/Brandon Terzakis/Aidan O’Connell
DESCRIPTION:The trio of Aidan O’Connell\, Jon Elbaz and Brandon Terzakis is one that is made of musicians whose initial backgrounds in improvisation are from Jazz. However because of their mutual interest in Free Music they came together to discuss composition and Improvise freely as a new team. We realized that amongst us we each found ourselves hearing the other’s musical decisions all clearly. They were ones we as a group liked. Therefore the Trio has become one with a more distinct voice. One that delves deeper into the personal voices of each member and has realized a new\, exciting way of making music together through time.

SUMMARY:The Opera Next Door Presents: La Carmencita
DESCRIPTION:The Opera Next Door reimagines Bizet’s classic Carmen for our modern age. With music arranged and directed by Latin Grammy Award-winning Pedro Giraudo\, whose quartet will translate Bizet’s score into sultry\, Buenos Aires tango\, Carmen and Micaëla will be empowered in this retelling\, reframing the tragic love triangle for the abusive relationship it’s always been. This presentation is our sitzprobe which is the operatic term for the first time the singers and orchestra do a whole run-through. It’s kind of an open rehearsal\, so there may be some stops. It’s a unique opportunity to see inside the creative process of putting together a whole production. \nTOND aims towards fostering relationships with and within communities by creating immersive\, site-specific opera productions in collaboration with community groups and leaders in diverse\, working-class New York neighborhoods. \nTicket Link
