An homage to the campy and spine-chilling horror films of the 1940s, Michael Gordon & librettist Deborah Artman's Acquanetta combines theater, opera and film to explore the world of a real-life B-movie star with a mysterious past. 

The Passion (CA21146) spotlights composer Jeffrey Brooks, in partnership with innova Recordings! Featuring edgy, raucous performances by the Bang on a Can All-Stars and the New York-based large ensemble Contemporaneous, conducted by David Bloom.

The long awaited follow-up by John Luther Adams and the Seattle Sympony is here June 14! 

“Become Desert is both a celebration of the deserts we are given, and a lamentation of the deserts we create.”

Hadelich & Lang present a riveting display of “magisterial poise and serene control.” Out now on Vinyl, CD, & Digital.

Clouded Yellow encapsulates the breadth and complexity of Michael Gordon & Kronos Quartet's long-standing creative partnership. 

Vicky Chow & Michael Gordon deliver “a delirium state of rare potency” (Pitchfork)
