"Your road map through the wilds of contemporary-classical New York." The New York Times
Todd Reynolds is known as one of the founding fathers of the hybrid-musician movement and one of the most active and versatile proponents of what he calls 'present music'. For years the violinist of choice for Steve Reich, Meredith Monk, Bang on a Can, and a founder of the string quartet known as Ethel, his compositional and performance style is a hybrid of old and new technology, multi-disciplinary aesthetic and pan-genre composition and improvisation.
HOCKET is a cutting edge piano duo based in Los Angeles. Sarah Gibson and Thomas Kotcheff are both pianist-composers dedicated to commissioning and performing contemporary music. Together, they have premiered dozens of chamber and solo piano works and have collaborated with the premier, new music ensemble "eighth blackbird".
