Broad Statements
And we're back with the third annual installment of Broad Statements, the mini-festival celebrating womxn making all kinds of music we love in NYC.
About the performers:
THE RHYTHM METHOD
Praised as fierce, fearless, and virtuosic unapologetically stylistically omnivorous and versatile (New Music Box) and trailblazing...skillful composer-performers (The New Yorker), The Rhythm Method strives to reimagine the string quartet in a contemporary, feminist context. The four performer-composers of The Rhythm Method continually expand their sonic and expressive palette through the use of graphic notation, vocalization, improvisation, and performance. This performance will feature new works by all members of the ensemble, as well as a new piece by Jane Meenaghan.
WENDY EISENBERG
Wendy Eisenberg is an improvising guitarist, banjo player, songwriter and poet who uses the languages of free jazz, metal and art song to push forward what is possible on the fretted string instrument. Their work has led them to collaborations with Matt Mitchell, Ches Smith, Trevor Dunn, John Zorn, Anna Webber, and many others on the vanguard of modern improvised music today. They are also an active writer on music, with pieces in Sound American and the Contemporary Music Review.
