The International Street Cannibals and guest artists, including dancers and non-Western instrumentalists, will present Non-Western Omelette, a From the Holding Tank series concert on Wednesday, December 16 – 8:30 PM at St Mark's in-the-Bowery, 131 East 10th Street (at 2nd Ave.) in Manhattan.
The concert event, in which classical and non-Western classical instruments are commingled, will include works by Luciano Berio, Dan Cooper, Guillaume de Machaut, Dary John Mizelle, Arvo Part, Takashi Yoshimatsu, and Gene Pritsker, along with several arrangements of, and improvisations on Tyrolean folk tunes. The presentation deals with ensemble combinations of classical and non Western instruments; short solo works composed for non-classical instruments; and duos and trios which utilize like timbres only - 2 bass clarinets, 2 trumpets, 3 celli, etc.
ISC performers will be Taka Kigawa and Conor Hanick, pianists, David Taylor, bass trombone, Dan Barrett, Leo Grinhaus and Joanne Lin, celli, Lynn Bechtold and Mioi Takeda, violins, Mat Fieldes, bass, Thomas Gansch and Franz Hackl, trumpets, Alex Gurevich, viola and Matthias Mueller and Michiyo Suzuki, bass clarinets. They will be joined by dancers Christina Ilisije, Rebecca Rainey and Megan Sipe, with bellydancer Amanda Mottur and tapdancer Max Pollak.
Featured guest artists will be Murray Mast, steelpan, Edmundo Ramirez, sitar and James "Nyoraku" Schlefer, shakuhachi flute.
Suggested donation for the December 16 event is $10. For reservations, call 212-961-0357 or 646-431-2818. Tickets will be available at the door on the day of the performance. For more information, please contact ISC at 212-961-0357 or 646-431-2818. The “From the Holding Tank” series offers a wide range of traditional and non traditional chamber works by great European masters, contemporary American composers and satirists. Improvisatory and semi-staged works are also presented in ways that expand and de-contextualize the boundaries of the concert hall, and exploit in novel ways the spatial qualities of the venue. St Mark's-in -the-Bowery was performance haunt for many of the beat poets, and continues to be a favored venue for dance companies and performance artists.
The International Street Cannibals were conceived by Director Dan Barrett, and are steered by Resident Composer Gene "Noizepunk" Pritsker, Artistic Director Franz Hackl, and Artistic Advisor Dave Taylor. Visit them at http://streetcannibals.com/.
