Exploding Family Collectives

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010

Live performances by surprisingly functional families and collectives - featuring theYing Quartet, the Anti-Social Music Collective, and the Goldman Memorial Band.
Families that play together stay together, and the Ying Quartet is proof. This fine familial ensemble joins us for a return visit, and they'll treat us to a live performance. Members of the Anti-Social Music Collective come by to talk about what's new in their world of cutting-edge cultural production. Listened to any solo tuba lately? You won't hear it here, either, but members of the Goldman Memorial band will be in to talk about their upcoming program of works by Wilder, Gould, Schuman and Rogers, as well as selections of vintage circus tunes, and "Tubby the Tuba," narrated by Tuba virtuoso Harvey Phillips.
