About This Program

Approximate length 2:00

These concerts will be rescheduled later in the season, dates to be announced. Best known as one-third of the acclaimed genre-defying instrumental trio The Bad Plus, Minnesota native Reid Anderson premieres his first full evening work, The Rough Mixes, buttressed by a world class chamber ensemble including violinists Steven Copes and Ruggero Allifranchini, cellist David Huckaby, percussionist Jeff Ballard (Brad Mehldau Trio, Joshua Redman’s Elastic Band), and Anderson on electronics. Anderson’s new work embraces spaces of control and chaos, merging disparate forces into a cohesive sonic landscape. “The meeting place of elements – a shoreline, for example – is always new, unstable, mysterious,” says Anderson. “And mystery is what I love most in music.” Featuring video design by Brooklyn-based architect Cristina Guadalupe.

Please note: The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra does not perform on this program.

Come early! The Meritage Bar will be open in the Music Room one hour prior to, and throughout, this performance. Thank you to Meritage and Stella Artois, official sponsors of Liquid Music.
