We're going back on the road.

And we're bringing some of the most acclaimed composers of our time. 

With the flute master, Claire Chase. 

Three performances:

Saturday, March 21 in Hershey, PA

Sunday, March 22 in Philadelphia

Tuesday, March 24 at Carnegie Hall

A dialogue between kaleidoscopic choral colors and virtuosic flute inventions. 

A feast of words from Pulitzer laureates Rita Dove and Forrest Gander. 

A piece about raw grief. 

A piece that dances its way through a history of Black singing and living. 

A piece that looks at our self-perception through the lens of capitalism. 

And in all of this, driving rhythm, rhythm, rhythm. 

And the world was already old. And I was older than I am today. 

Out last visit to Carnegie Hall, in 2024 for Gabriela Ortiz's Can We Know the Sound of Forgiveness?

From our friends:

Our friends at Bowerbird are presenting David Tudor: A View From Inside, a major exhibition devoted to one of the most important and least understood figures in American music. Tudor was born in Philadelphia, trained as a classical pianist, and spent the second half of his career building and performing with his own electronic instruments. He was a central figure in the American avant-garde for decades, collaborating with Cage, Cunningham, Rauschenberg, and others, yet his own work remains largely unknown outside a small circle. The exhibition brings together rare archival materials, instruments, and documentation, and is on view at the Pearlstein Gallery on Drexel's campus through March 21, 2026.



Bowerbird is presenting a full range of programs - including two concerts - as part of the project: Forest Speech and Piano on March 6, and Tudor Works for Live Electronics on March 7. These are rare chances to here Tudor's music performed live.
