#1879: Program #1879

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
New York has more than its fair share of individualistic composers. Their music doesn't lend itself to easy categorization but nonetheless represents a host of raw, energetic, and idiosyncratic styles and genres. Host John Schaefer celebrates this fact on this edition of New Sounds, with music by some of the city’s finest musical voices. Highlights include music by Ben Neill; Andy Teirstein; Peter Gordon; and Martha Mooke and Randy Hudson (collectively known as Bowing) and the Paul Dresher Ensemble performing music by Eve Beglarian (from a 1997 New Sounds Live concert at Merkin Hall).
