Bang on a Can All-Stars in Amsterdam

The Bang on a Can All-Stars, starring member and cellist Ashley Bathgate, play three brilliant pieces by the Bang on a Can composer trio Michael Gordon, David Lang, and Julia Wolfe, and a few Field Recordings, from their recent large-scale multimedia project.
David Lang: ‘It’s a kind of ghost story. We asked composers from different parts of the music world to find a recording of something that already exists — a voice, a sound, a faded scrap of melody — and then write a new piece around it.” The All-Stars will perform Field Recordings by Julia Wolfe, Steve Reich, Anna Clyne, and by the young Dutch composer Aart Strootman.
