“Maya Beiser has etched a bold career path that marries classical to rock, starched collars to casual dress, and tradition to unorthodoxy,” declares AllMusic.com. The founding cellist of the Bang on a Can All-Stars, Beiser has collaborated with such composers as Tan Dun, Brian Eno, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and Mark O’Connor. In this new program she plays acoustic and electric cello, combining classical forms with rock, blues, and electronics. Joining Beiser are bassist Gyan Riley and percussionist-composer Glenn Kotche, perhaps best known for his work with Chicago-based band Wilco. Hear Mohammed Fairouz's Kol Nidrei, the Chicago-area premieres of Michael Gordon's All Vows and Michael Harrison's Just Ancient Loops, and experience music of Kotche, Reich, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, and more as you’ve never heard it before.
