ASPHALT ORCHESTRA
Co-Director
Asphalt Orchestra is a new iconoclastic 12-piece marching band conceived by Bang on a Can. An ultra-populist band accessible to the mobile masses, Asphalt Orchestra premiered to critical acclaim at Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival 2009 featuring premieres of ambitious processional music from every corner of the world, including new works by Tyondai Braxton, Goran Bregovic, and Stew and Heidi Rodewald, and arrangements of songs by Bjork, Meshuggah, Mingus, Nancarrow, and Zappa.
Asphalt Orchestra is currently enjoying a jam packed summer invading the UK @ The Barbican, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and NYC’s Upper West Side.
