I have been crossing my fingers that this will happen. But it looks like YES Bang on a Can comes to Berlin to collaborate with Sasha Waltz company. We're also doing our own music-only set. Very excited to be playing a row of shows at Radial System. Info: radialsystem.de

New European tour dates! Looking forward to performing works by Messiaen and Ken Thomson at the Markus Kirche in Berlin Steglitz (11/19) and Hrvatski dom Split in Croatia (11/21). instagram.com/p/CV46BoEgjR7/…
We have been delving into this work, taking apart some received traditions, and finding our personal way forward on this powerful piece that still resonates. roulette.org/event/anzu-quar… (2/2)
Very excited to perform the Quartet for the End of Time once again on Friday night with this stellar crew. There will be NO live stream of this concert so I hope you can come. (All vaccinated audience.). (1/2)
.@annaclyne wrote this beautiful song for me to play based on an Emily Dickinson poem. Coming up on about an hour... Tune in!
Watch today's Bang on a Can Marathon of Song at 1pm-5pm - right here or at live.bangonacan.org/june-202… @vcpianos @ArlenHlusko @clusterhocket @annaclyne @lrain0000 @MKouyoumdjian @JulezLegend @florentghys
Super looking forward to performing this Sunday!
I wrote a solo saxophone piece for Ken Thomson @clusterhocket. Tune in if you can.
Thank you, @AnEarful ! Was great to have this piece performed by the amazing Robert Black at @blnfestspiele #MaerzMusik
First heard on the inaugural pandemic BOAC Marathon last May, @clusterhocket’s Birds and Ambulances is now a signature #lockdown composition, especially when played by Robert Black! But others should take it up for its use of the bass’s full range of expression.

Lovely to see @meredith_monk and @bangonacan on the @nytimesmusic Best Classical Music Tracks of 2020! Shoutout to @clusterhocket for his contribution to the "seductively sinister instrumental surroundings" 🤘🔥
