May: thingNY in CT, NYC, Philly, World/Inferno on the West Coast, Lucerne Reunion in NYC

This weekend, thingNY is back on the road performing a new piece by Dave Ruder, with shows tonight in Connecticut, tomorrow in NYC, and Sunday in Philly. Later in May, The World/Inferno Friendship Society visits the West Coast, and I’ll play a piece at the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ALUMNI Reunion/Showcase in Brooklyn, which I’m also organizing. In June, Dykes & Young, Wise & Young, and World/Inferno all have Northeast dates. Read on for more!

First, a quick rundown of the past two months: Paul Pinto and I had three fun performances of our Patriots opera in Vermont, the Catskills, and Baltimore, and Pete Wise and I had a successful premiere in Boston of our duo Wise & Young, which you can watch and listen to here. I played with World/Inferno in Providence, New Jersey, and at Mercury Lounge in NYC, I improvised with The ALYance and others in an eight-hour event at the Somerville Armory, and I created 25 minutes of new solo material at the New York Mills Arts Retreat in rural Minnesota, which I premiered at a well-reviewed performance there and a Minneapolis show that was recorded live.

Starting this evening, thingNY is proud to present the three-show premiere tour of You Must Read a Lot of Jung, a brand new work written for the ensemble by member Dave Ruder, scored for voice, violin, clarinet, tenor sax, cello, and cymbal. Slow and spacious, Jung works over themes and ideas from previous thingNY pieces written by members of the group. At the New York stop on the tour, thingNY is also excited to present a new duo co-written and performed by members Gelsey Bell and Erin Rogers, SKYLIGHGHT for voice and saxophone. We’ll share bills with some great folks: Anne Rhodes and Adam Matlock in Connecticut, softboarding in NYC, and Erik Ruin’s Ominous Cloud Ensemble in Philly.

Later this month, I look forward to joining World/Inferno on a quick West Coast jaunt to play the Punk Rock Bowling Festival in Las Vegas and a soon-to-be-announced gig in southern California. We’ll rehearse in LA, and it would be great to catch up with friends while I’m in town! Soon after I return, it’s back to NYC for a LUCERNE FESTIVAL ALUMNI Reunion and Showcase at Spectrum. I’m organizing the event, and I’ll also play a short selection of the new music for violin and electronics I created in Minnesota. Fellow alumni, there’s still time to sign up to perform!

In early June, bassist Laura Dykes is flying up from Texas for a Dykes & Young tour that includes a performance at the Re:Sound Festival in Cleveland and confirmed shows in Pittsburgh, DC, Baltimore, Brooklyn, and Boston, with more to be announced soon. In late June, keep your eyes out for Northeast shows with the World/Inferno Friendship Society and Wise & Young. And further down the line, I’m looking forward to my residency in Graz, Austria in September and October!
