SUMMARY:Titan to Tachyons
DESCRIPTION:Titan to Tachyons is an instrumental experimental jazz-metal group led by New Zealand/New York composer and guitarist Sally Gates (ex-Orbweaver)\, which features Kenny Grohowski (Secret Chiefs 3\, John Zorn) on drums\, and two bassists: Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle\, Fantômas\, Tomahawk) and Matt Hollenberg (Cleric\, John Zorn). The quartet’s music depicts the realms of surrealism and science-fiction through eclectic and improvisational passages\, juxtaposed by fluid grooves and metallic flurries. The band recently released their mind-blowing second album\, Vonals\, via John Zorn’s Tzadik Records. As alluring as it is unpredictable\, the album features spaced-out free-flowing jams merged with explosive metallic outbursts\, as if the listener was watching a time-lapse video of the cosmos forming from an ominous jazz lounge in a David Lynch film.

SUMMARY:John Zorn's Flatlands
DESCRIPTION:One of the most exalted names in modern experimental music across a spectrum of styles and genres\, John Zorn is an avant-garde composer\, arranger\, record producer\, saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist whose output extends to hundreds of albums. His work has touched on a wide range of musical genres\, often within a single composition\, but he is best-known for his avant-garde\, jazz\, improvised and contemporary classical music. Zorn has led the punk jazz band Naked City and the klezmer-influenced quartet Masada\, and composed the associated ‘Masada Songbooks’\, written concert music for classical ensembles\, and produced music for film and documentary. Zorn established himself within the New York City downtown music movement in the early 1980s but has since composed and performed with a wide range of musicians working in diverse musical areas. \nZorn’s latest project\, Flatlands\, is an explosive power trio in the mold of his ferocious bands Simulacrum and Insurrection. The new supergroup brings together guitarist Matt Hollenberg of the aforementioned Simulacrum as well as Cleric and Secret Chiefs 3; bassist Simon Hanes\, who blended Italian soundtrack sounds with jazz in Tredici Bacci and whose mammoth project Gargantua the New York Times called a “masterpiece… an album of bombarding and demonic\, but at times fragile and beautiful music”; and drummer Ches Smith\, well known to Solar Myth audiences for his work with Tim Berne as well as his own projects Clone Row\, We All Break\, and Laugh Ash. Zorn’s music for the band is intense\, quirky\, and wildly ecstatic – kaleidoscopic compositions filled with virtuosic solos\, infectious riffs\, atonal melodies\, advanced harmonies\, complex rhythms\, and plenty of the ever surprising structural innovations that has made Zorn one of the most continually fascinating composers of the past fifty years.

SUMMARY:Thor & Friends + Hour
DESCRIPTION:Thor & Friends:Polymath percussionist Thor Harris inaugurated Thor & Friends in the autumn of 2015 after five years of touring as the percussionist of iconic avant-rock ensemble Swans. The project is intended as a vehicle for experimentation with the conceptual vocabulary of American Minimalism collaborating with a rotating cast of Austin-based musicians. The ensemble’s line-up expands and contracts with the flux of compositional and improvisational contexts. Thor & Friends draws on classic Minimalist composers\, including Terry Riley and Steve Reich\, but also amalgamate such diverse influences as Brian Eno\, Aphex Twin\, Moondog and The Necks around a polyrhythmic core of mallet-struck instruments\, primarily marimba\, xylophone and vibraphone. Circling these core motifs are shifting streams of everything from processed pedal steel and analog synthesizer to violin\, viola\, stand-up bass\, clarinet\, duduk and oboe. \nHour: \nImmediate\, passionate\, occasionally dissonant\, open\, open\, open\, and very often sublime\, Ease the Work is an undeniably grand statement from the instrumental ensemble Hour. Conceived by composer\, producer\, and multi-instrumentalist Michael Cormier-O’Leary (Friendship\, 2nd Grade\, Dear Life Records) and delivered live by nine musicians in early 2023\, Ease the Work is where breathy timbre and cinematic swoon factor meet in communion. Formed in the flourishing underground of West Philadelphia in the latter half of the 2010s\, Hour has fluctuated in size and scope around Cormier-O’Leary’s clear yet open-ended harmonic framework and ambitious ear. Ease the Work builds on the bedrock of Hour’s first two records\, Tiny Houses and Anemone Red\, and represents the group at its most expansive in sound and membership. Hour’s music cuts a broad pathway\, and remains hard to classify or compare. Perhaps most at home beside work from Bill Frisell\, Eiko Ishibashi\, ECM Records\, or the Louisville experimental chamber group Rachel’s\, Ease the Work shows us life on the boundary of composition and improvisation. It reaches for the sweeping gestures and inspired pacing of classic film scores\, Frank Sinatra ballads\, and Scott Walker’s pop orchestra. It also retains the arresting intimacy of the band’s early work. Strings swell and harmonize in counterpoint with electric guitar\, clarinet\, and piano\, while drums\, synth pads\, and field recordings complete the aural world. \naccessibility: space is on the second floor up a flight of stairs.

SUMMARY:Maria Grand and Shakoor Hakeem
DESCRIPTION:María Grand is a saxophonist\, composer\, educator\, and vocalist. She has performed with her ensembles all over Europe and North America; she has also played and/or recorded with creative music luminaries such as Joel Ross\, Mary Halvorson\, Antoine Roney\, Nicole Mitchell\, and more. Her debut EP “TetraWind” was picked as “one of the 2017’s best debuts” by the NYC Jazz Record and her full-length albums Magdalena\, Reciprocity\, and Anohin were praised by major publications such as the New York Times\, Downbeat\, JazzTimes\, Billboard\, JazzIz\, and others. The New York Times calls her “an engrossing young tenor saxophonist with a zesty attack and a solid tonal range”\, while Vijay Iyer says she is “a fantastic young saxophonist\, virtuosic\, conceptually daring\, with a lush tone\, a powerful vision\, and a deepening emotional resonance.” \nMaría is a recipient of the 2017 Jazz Gallery Residency Commission\, the 2018 Roulette Jerome Foundation Commission\, the 2019 Roulette Residency\, and the 2020 Jazz Coalition Commission Award\, and the 2024 Pulse Foundation Award. She was nominated for the Jazz Journalist’s Association Up-And-Coming Musician of the Year 2018 and named the 2018 Newcomer Musician for the El Intruso 11th Annual Internation Critics Poll\, as well as Best New Artist in the 2018 JazzTimes Reader’s Poll. \nIn 2022\, María was commissioned by the Metropolitan Orchestra to write a chamber piece; she composed a piece mixing elements of healing somatic practices with music titled “your very own sun”. The same year\, she also was a Women In Jazz Organization mentor\, working with a young musician to transmit her knowledge and study ways of overcoming hurdles specific to young women in the music industry. \nIn 2024\, Maria also had her debut as conductor\, directing Roscoe Mitchell’s piece Cards in Mantova\, in the presence of the composer; she also began touring as a sideman with Joel Ross’ Good Vibes. She released an album in December 2024 titled Altered Visions\, a collaborative effort with musicians Marta Sanchez\, Camila Nebbia\, Kanoa Mendenhall\, and Iago Fernandez\, on the recently formed label Lilaila Records\, and is set to release her fourth full-length album\, Both Sides\, in April 2026. \nIn 2025\, she was nominated as Best European Musician by the French Académie du Jazz and voted one of the rising tenor saxophone stars by Downbeat. She is a certified relationship consultant from the ETC school of self-development\, based in Quebec. She has a teaching studio where she teaches Music and Self Knowledge\, and recently premiered an Emotional Deep Dive where musicians and audience created a communal moment to sonically mirror and transform emotions. \nFearless percussionist Shakoor Hakeem\, a prolific up-and-coming talent\, has a gift for making experimental\, Afro-diasporan\, rhythmic improvisational music immediately enjoyable. Hakeem’s unique old soul has him adhering to the cultural traditions of mysticism and folklore\, within which are contained the secrets of his elders. The mythical experience of his stage presence evokes feelings that you are witness to a ceremonial gathering\, of an ancient rhythmic history. In building this\, he has long supported many of the most forward-thinking legendary improvisers\, including Graham Haynes\, Immanual Wilkins\, Joel Ross\, Adam Rudolph\, Bobby Zankel and Wallace Roney. Performing live with these great artists\, he refrains from overplaying and prefers minimalism\, playing with the musical and compositional contexts of colors and texture\, delivering limited solos\, all while occupying the eye of the hurricane. \n

SUMMARY:Instruments That Talk Back: Celebrating the Legacy of Don Buchla
DESCRIPTION:Instruments That Talk Back will be a seven-month celebration of the work of Don Buchla\, a pioneering electronic instrument designer who revolutionized music technology with unconventional touch- and motion-sensitive interfaces and instruments that blurred the line between human and machine. The exhibition is scheduled to open on September 19\, 2026 and will close on April 17\, 2027 with a special event commemorating what would have been Buchla’s 90th birthday. \nEMEAPP and the Museum of Music Technology will be setting up a special physical exhibit highlighting our collection of rare Buchla instruments as well as several additional pieces on loan to us. Many of the instruments in the exhibit will be operational so visitors can see\, hear\, and interact with them. \nWe are excited to present a robust schedule of in-person programming to accompany this exhibition.

SUMMARY:Bryan Day/Toshi Makihara duo & Del Rossi Trio
DESCRIPTION:Bryan Day & Toshi Makihara duo: \nBryan Day is a sound artist\, instrument inventor\, and conceptual artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Using scavenged electronics\, repurposed mechanical components\, and amplified materials\, he reimagines them as constructivist sound sculptures. Since the late 1990s\, he has built over a hundred sound devices ranging from amplified measuring tapes and hacked radio transceivers to electromechanical installations using magnets\, hard drives\, and pendulums.His recorded work spans noisy electroacoustic improvisation\, droning minimalism\, and audio collage\, featured in projects such as Euphotic\, Collision Stories\, and Seeded Plain. He has performed\, taught workshops\, and built sound installations across Europe\, Asia\, and the Americas. By day\, he works as a museum exhibit and software developer at the Exploratorium in San Francisco.Since 1997\, Day has run the new music label Public Eyesore and its sister label Eh?\, producing over 300 albums of improvised and experimental music by artists from around the world. He has organized tours for American artists in Japan and curated events at venues including Canessa Gallery\, Meridian Gallery\, Clawfoot House\, Tiptop Haus\, and The Magic Theatre.Day also leads invented instrument–building workshops\, both to create instruments of his own design and to guide participants in building freeform sound objects from repurposed materials. His designs include the Whiskerphone\, Rotowhisker\, Sonic Marionette\, Sound Mouse\, Junk Kalimba\, and various circuit-bent instruments. \nToshi Makihara pursues non-idiomatic free improvised music using percussion and found objects / sound sites. Makihara studied drums and improvisation with Sabu Toyozumi and Butoh with the master Kazuo Ohno in Tokyo. His approach to free improvisation is founded on the process of “Becoming the Sound” without seeking any particular accomplishment. \nDel Rossi Trio: \n“Listening to Del Rossi Trio\, I thought of landscapes: particularly\, the way they seem to subtly shift and change when viewed from tens of thousands of feet in flight\, presenting the persistent illusion of stillness despite the fact of infinite intricate activity taking place (not to mention the fact that you’re moving at hundreds of miles an hour all the while). The trio\, composed of droning harmonium\, cello and bass clarinet\, played two long\, meditative pieces: this was eyes-closed music\, drifting slowly in and out of consonance\, wide-open modal harmonies inching toward tension and rich\, crazy clusters of notes and harmonic traffic jams. Bass clarinetist Matthew Smith Lee’s cheeks would softly flutter on long-held notes\, and the cello and harmonium essentially blended into one big\, pulsing sound.”- Tyler Maxwell(Midbrow Philly) \naccessibility: one step from street to venue. Wheelchair ramp available please contact us ahead of time if possible.

SUMMARY:Coltrane 100  - A Love Supreme: The Man\, The Music and His Timeless Message with Ashley Kahn
DESCRIPTION:Too often\, John Coltrane’s towering legend and enduring influence overshadows his message\, which he meticulously wove into his best known album – which some have called his musical self-portrait – A Love Supreme. Celebrating the 60th anniversary of this seminal recording\, this presentation employs music and video excerpts to better understand the connection between Coltrane’s music and universal message. How did he work spiritual focus into his music? What role did Coltrane envision for himself and his recordings? What was his core message\, and how does it continue to influence musicians and attract an audience well beyond the jazz circle\, to this day?

SUMMARY:Coltrane 100 - Invocations: Calling Upon the Spirit of John Coltrane with William Parker
DESCRIPTION:As part of the celebration of the centennial of John Coltrane’s birth\, Ars Nova Workshop welcomes bassist\, composer\, poet\, and bandleader William Parker for a special invocation ceremony at Monument in Waiting\, calling upon the spirit of John Coltrane through music\, poetry\, ritual\, and collective remembrance. \nCreated by artist Theaster Gates\, Monument in Waiting is a space for gathering\, contemplation\, and the honoring of histories still being written. For COLTRANE 100\, Parker activates the monument as a site of remembrance and possibility—an invitation to consider Coltrane not simply as a towering figure of the past\, but as a living presence whose pursuit of spiritual transformation\, freedom\, and human connection continues to resonate across generations. \nOne of the great creative musicians and thinkers of our time\, Parker has long approached music as a vehicle for healing\, community\, and spiritual inquiry. Here\, he gathers us not for a conventional concert\, but for an invocation: a communal act of listening and reflection dedicated to Coltrane’s life\, his searching spirit\, and the possibilities his music continues to open one hundred years after his birth.
