Rhys Chatham at the Lincoln Center: First, a huge thank-you to all the musicians, organizers, audience members, and the entire community of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, for an amazing and highly successful U.S. debut of Rhys Chatham's work for 100 guitars in May. Hot on the heels of this stunning event, we're excited to announce another first for Chatham: on August 15th, New York City's Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts will present Chatham's A Crimson Grail (2008) for 200 Electric Guitars (Outdoor Version) as part of their Out of Doors series, taking place at Damrosch Park in Manhattan. Chatham and section leaders David Daniell, Seth Olinsky, John King, and Ned Sublette will lead an orchestra of 200 guitarists and electric bassists in this world premiere. The work, originally composed for Paris' famed Sacré-Coeur, has been extensively revised to suit the dynamics of the Park's outdoor acoustics. Under the banner of 800 Years of Minimalism - The Spiritual Transcendent, this free event will also include early-music vocal group Beata Viscera presenting a selection of works by the 13th-century French composer Pérotin, and the U.S. premiere of Manuel Göttsching's hour-long masterpiece E2-E4. See the Lincoln Center website for full details.

More details coming soon.

Phantom Orchard select performances: Phantom Orchard, the duo of harpist Zeena Parkins and percussionist/electronic musician Ikue Mori, has just had a second album Orra released on Tzadik, and is looking ahead to selected special live appearances beginning late this year and continuing into 2009. These performances will definitely be something not to be missed; opportunities to see this exciting kinetic duo in a live setting are very scarce.
