Music: Buke and Gase with So Percussion - WQXR

Wednesday, March 26 - 7:30pm
The Ecstatic Music Festival
Merkin Hall at the Kaufman Center, NYC
their first collaboration with the duo Buke and Gase.

An essentially Ecstatic collaboration between two Ecstatic Music Festival alumnae groups, this concert brings together innovative percussion quartet So Percussion with master instrument builders and Brassland artists Buke and Gase, one of the most talked-about bands touring today. The two groups will perform new work together featuring new instruments built by Aron Sanchez from Buke and Gase, alongside So’s regular mess of traditional percussion instruments, electronics, toys and other noise-generating objects, plus Buke and Gase’s homemade instruments including the "buke," a six-string former-baritone ukulele; and the "gase," a guitar-bass hybrid. - See more at: http://www.kaufmanmusiccenter.org/mch/event/ecstatic-music-festival-so-percussion-buke-and-gase#sthash.wWe5zk81.dpuf
Of epic proportions and stellar execution was Bryce Dessner’s "Music for Wood and Strings."
