Issue Project Room has been at the vanguard of experimental music for the better part of a decade, not only in New York City but all of North America. They consistently host a staggering array of performances from legendary and up-and-coming artists alike. A current highlight in their programming schedule sees cellist and UCSD professor, Charles Curtis, reunited with the work of noted experimentalist and composer, Tashi Wada. The pair's previous collaboration at the venue came as part of Issue's anniversary celebrations in 2013, Ten Years Alive on the Infinite Plain. This time around Curtis will be performing Wada's soon-to-be-released record, Duets, with Judith Hamann, as well as solo cello works by Alvin Lucier, JS Bach, and Luigi Dallapiccola. This performance is a must-see for fans of experimental minimalism who may or may not already be familiar with this unparalleled art music venue.
