New Music Concert Series Presents loadbang
(Delaware and Chester Counties, PA • March 30, 2016)—Delaware County Community College’s New Music Concert Series presents loadbang on Sunday, April 24 at 3 p.m. The concert will be held in the College’s Large Auditorium in the Academic Building on the Marple Campus (901 S. Media Line Road, Media, PA).
New York City-based new music chamber group loadbang is building a new kind of music for mixed ensemble. Since their founding in 2008, they have been praised as “cultivated” by The New Yorker, “an extra-cool new music group” and “exhilarating” by the Baltimore Sun, “inventive” by the New York Times and called a “formidable new-music force” by TimeOutNY. Their unique lung-powered instrumentation (trumpet, trombone, bass clarinet and baritone voice) has provoked diverse responses from composers, resulting in a stylistic palette ranging from whistled Brazilian rhythms and microtonal jazz standards to the decoupled and deconstructed sounds of the second modernity. Symphony Space, Miller Theater, Da Camera of Houston, Rothko Chapel, MATA, the Festival of New American Music at Sacramento State University and the Avant Music Festival are some of their recent presenters.
Admission is $10 and tickets are available online or at the door. ADA Assistive Listening Devices, accessible seating and parking available.
