About This Program
Approximate length 2:00
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 Sunmi Chang, cellist Anthony Ross, 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.
