American Journeys: Off The Beaten Track
Take the road less traveled with these fearless explorers of music’s furthest borders. Composer Terry Riley, “the godfather of musical Minimalism” (New York Times), is a longtime friend of the Kronos Quartet. Together they are forging a new language for string quartets. Also meet John Henry, America’s mythical railroad man, in Julia Wolfe’s Steel Hammer, performed by the Bang on a Can All-Stars—“the country’s most important vehicle for contemporary music” (San Francisco Chronicle)—and Trio Mediaeval.
