ARTIST: Colin Stetson
GIG: 'Sorrow,' Monday night at Le Poisson Rouge

Sax player and composer Colin Stetson is probably best known for his work with Arcade Fire, Lou Reed, Bon Iver, and others, but his solo performances defy categorization. His latest album is called Sorrow, and it’s a reimagining of the third symphony of the great Polish composer Henryk Gorecki. But instead of a symphony orchestra, Stetson employs a mixed classical and rock ensemble, even sneaking in hints of black metal.
