loadbang: New Works by Duke Graduate Composers

New York City-based new music chamber group loadbang (trumpet, trombone, bass clarinet, and baritone voice) premieres six new pieces written for them by Duke graduate student composers; Erich Barganier, Tyler Jordan, Monthati Masebe, Ronja Mokráňová, Josué Collado, and Mozhgan Chahian.

loadbangʼs mission is to commission new works, perform works by members of the ensemble, and develop a unique language of improvisation. loadbang also believes in the receptivity of children to experimental art and is committed to bringing uncompromising sounds to young ears through outreach programs.

loadbang has premiered more than 400 works, written by members of the ensemble, emerging artists, and today's leading composers. Their repertoire includes works by Pulitzer Prize winners David Lang and Charles Wuorinen; Rome Prize winners Andy Akiho and Paula Matthusen; and Guggenheim Fellows Chaya Czernowin, George Lewis, and Alex Mincek.

Admission is free - No need to purchase tickets to attend.
