NEW MUSIC GAME NIGHT! from Brightwork newmusic

Brightwork Ensemble teams up with People Inside Electronics for a fun-filled evening of game-inspired new music. Audience participation is allowed and encouraged. From Cristina Lord’s choose-your-own-adventure piece based on Kafka’s Metamorphosis to Isaac Schankler’s polyrhythm game, The Six-Body Problem, there is something for everyone. Let’s play!

Brightwork newmusic is a Los Angeles-based chamber ensemble formed in 2013 by pianist Aron Kallay. The group is built around a sextet instrumentation (piano, violin, cello, flute, clarinet, percussion) and focuses on presenting high-caliber performances of contemporary classical music alongside landmark works from the past hundred years. Their mission is to revitalize the art of new music on the West Coast—commissioning living composers, premiering their works, and inviting listeners into the creative process.

At a Brightwork performance you can expect a polished and fearless ensemble of musicians, many of whom are recognized in the professional music scene, delivering precise, responsive playing and tightly integrated chamber music under modern aesthetic standards.

Tickets: $12-35
