| Music at the Mine Presents Ancient Future |
|
|
Ancient Future returns to perform at the Music at the Mine series at the Kentucky Mine Amphitheater for the first time since 2000. This uptempo program features world guitar pioneer Matthew Montfort, virtuoso keyboardist Doug McKeehan, and international percussion phenomenon Abbos Kosimov, an ambassador of Uzbek culture who is known for throwing his drums in the air during his awe inspiring solos. Abbos Kosimov is a master of the doyra (frame drum with metal rings), which he has taken to unprecedented new heights through his work with Indian tabla master Zakir Hussain. When asked about doyra, Abbos said: "Uzbek culture and national identity is deeply rooted in its music and dance traditions. Dorya is my life and I cannot live without it." This dance of the doyra is augmented melodically and harmonically by Matthew Montfort and Doug McKeehan, producing energetic music that is exotic, and familiar all at the same time. |

Bang on a Can and The Noguchi Museum conclude their 2019 monthly summer concert series with Balun, a self-proclaimed "dreambow" ensemble whose members hail from Puerto Rico. The Brooklyn-based indie band incorporates Caribbean rhythms, old school dembow, glitchy IDM, and dreamy dance pop into tunes that are slick and modern but firmly rooted in the traditional sounds of their homeland. This performance is included as part of Free First Friday, when Museum admission is free all day until 8pm. The performance will take place in The Noguchi Museum's outdoor sculpture garden. In case of rain, the concert will move to the galleries. |

New York, July 10, 2019 - NYU Skirball will present the New York premiere of award-winning director Joanne Akalaitis’s BAD NEWS! i was there…, a site-specific theatrical event, running for five performances, Friday, September 6 – September 8, 2019 at NYU Skirball.
Audiences will be led on a unique a journey through NYU Skirball’s lobby, hallways, and out-of-the-way spaces where messengers from classical drama share shocking events from the great stories of the ancient world: madness, murder, infanticide, suicide and gruesome warfare, sparing no details. Taken from the works of Aeschylus, Euripides, Sophocles, Racine, and Brecht, these monologues are spoken and sung in a harmonious chorus of English, interwoven with Greek, Latin, German and French. All paths lead to the empty stage where the company will recite the story of the battle of Salamis from The Persians by Aeschylus, the oldest surviving play in Western Literature.
Created in the spirit of the Greek polis — where audiences came together to witn |
