First Fridays with Robert Black - February 5, 2021

Nick Dunston: Fainting is Down, Whooshing is Up Ailie Robertson: The Bells Are All Silent Ken Thomson: Birds and Ambulances This performance revisits three recently premiered works from this season’s Bang on a Can Marathons.  Hear the wild and wonderous energy of Nick Dunston, the tender and touching music from Ailie Robertson and Ken Thomson’s powerful yet poignant pandemic portrait.  If you heard these pieces on one of the Bang on a Can Marathons, then you’ll enjoy a deeper dive into the music.  If you’re hearing them for the first time, well…. you’re in for a treat! First Fridays with Robert Black is a monthly series of virtual mini-concerts featuring brand-spanking new, recently new, and kind of new music for solo double bass - streaming from his home studio in Hartford, Connecticut, at noon (EST). Whether you’re having your morning coffee in Los Angeles, or lunch in New York, or that first glass of wine in Paris, or a late supper in Tashkent, tune in for some cool and compelling music.
