Bang on a Can announces the Bang on a Can Marathon of Song featuring 15 performances streamed from musicians' homes around the country and across the world. For this Marathon all performances will include some type of vocalization - singing, speaking, murmuring, or other use of the voice. The four-hour live Marathon, featuring Fred Frith, L'Rain, Albert Kuvezin from Yat Kha, Charles Amirkhanian, Matana Roberts, and many more, will be hosted by Bang on a Can Co-Founders and Artistic Directors Michael Gordon, David Lang, and Julia Wolfe, who say: "Humming, speaking, crooning, shouting, praying, tuneful, harmonized or noisy, we have spun songs since the beginning of our existence. These adventurous composers are redefining what it means to make song, and these powerful performers bring it to life with a myriad of colors and sensibilities."
