Glenn Kotche and Victoire

Zankel Hall Seating Chart
Revered art-music percussionist, composer, and Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche comes to Carnegie Hall for an evening of dynamic premieres of visceral music. With "unfailing taste, technique, and discipline" (Chicago Tribune), Kotche takes on a richly layered new work written expressly for him by John Luther Adams that melds the rigor of modern music with found sounds of the natural world and Alaskan field recordings. He is joined by Victoire, founded by “Brooklyn’s post-millennial Mozart” (Time Out New York) Missy Mazzoli, to give the world premieres of new works for solo percussion and ensemble written by himself and Mazzoli.
