Ned sent me this press release today and I'm forwarding on to the Forum.
Cheers, Riley
Dear Press People,
I'm very excited about this concert - Union Temple has wonderful acoustics which should really help bring this music alive. Riley Lee is one of the world's great shakuhachi performers - currently in residence at Princeton University - this is one of the only chances for NYC audiences to hear him. All of these pieces will be recorded in the near future for Tzadik records. Any listings and previews would be very much appreciated. Best Wishes, nr
May 7, Thursday at 8 PM Union Temple presents an evening of original chamber music with Ned Rothenberg and Friends. 3 of Rothenberg's compositions will be performed:
1. Cloud Hands for 2 Japanese Shakuhachi Flutes
2. Dan no Tabi for Shakuhachi and Viola
3. Clarinet Quintet #1 for Clarinet and String Quartet.
Featured Artists will be Riley Lee, shakuachi, Stephanie Griffin, viola, The Mivos quartet (Olivia de Prato and Joshua Modney, violins, Victor Lowrie, viola and Isabel Castellvi, cello) and Ned Rothenberg, clarinet and shakuhachi
"Ned Rothenberg is absolutely phenomenal.. (He has) opened up new and unheard expressive possibilitties for wind instruments."

And now you live 4794.721 leagues from that gig (give or take a league).
