Long Play Festival 2024: Bang on a Can plays Ryuichi Sakamoto at Roulette
May 3. 8PM. $30 or Festival Pass

This weekend, the Long Play festival takes over venues around Brooklyn with three days of all kinds of contemporary music. On May 3, the Bang On A Can All-Stars pay tribute the late Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. Sakamoto’s album called 1996 saw him arrange some of his best known music, including his award-winning film scores, for a piano trio. The Bang On A Can All-Stars present those pieces for their own hybrid chamber-rock instrumentation on May 3 at Roulette.  It’s a New Sounds Live co-presentation.
