This year’s Ecstatic Summer event features two full sets of newly commissioned, collaboratively-based music– one for brass and the other for percussion. Part concert and part “happening,” the two site-specific, acoustic sets are designed to fill the waterfront plaza with more than a dozen musicians involved in each set.
Composers will include Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), Dave Douglas, Susie Ibarra, Seth Olinsky (Akron/Family), with others to be announced, while the ensembles will include a mix of musicians, including members of groups Bon Iver, Mantra Percussion, The National, yMusic, Plastic Ono Band, and many more.
