Six Mallet Marimba, composed and performed by AME’s Robert Paterson, is comprised entirely of works born of Paterson’s newly-developed and impressive six-mallet technique. It is the first-ever album to feature only six-mallet works, advancing the repertoire significantly through Paterson’s technique, which allows for richer harmonic language and expanded range of motion.

Both discs will be ushered in by an exceptional release concert, “Modern Marimba,” on Wednesday, November 14, 7:00 PM at the Rubin Museum of Art (150 West 17 Street, New York, NY). The program will feature performances by Paterson, Nakura, and members of AME, showcasing selected works from each album.

New York, NY – Bang on a Can and the Jewish Museum’s 2018-2019 concert season, pairing innovative music with the Museum’s exhibitions and showcasing leading female performers and composers, continues on Thursday, February 28, 2019 at 7:30pm. The acclaimed string quartet ETHEL performs the complete string quartets of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Julia Wolfe: Dig Deep, Early that Summer, Four Marys, and Blue Dress. This is the first performance of all of Wolfe's string quartets at one time, on one stage. Julia Wolfe's string quartets, as described by The New Yorker, "combine the violent forward drive of rock music with an aura of minimalist serenity [using] the four instruments as a big guitar, whipping psychedelic states of mind into frenzied and ecstatic climaxes." This performance is presented in conjunction with the exhibition of fellow New York City cultural icon Martha Rosler: Irrespective. Established in New York City in 1998, ETHEL quickly earned a reputation as one of America’s most adventurous string quartets. Twenty years later, the band continues to set the standard for contemporary concert music. ETHEL is Ralph Farris (viola), Kip Jones (violin), Dorothy Lawson (cello), and Corin Lee (violin). -
