Anthony Braxton 12+1 Tet

Ensembles will break apart and reform into new organisms like human cells or societies in this ambitious experiment by American musical visionary and saxophonist Anthony Braxton. For eight hours, more than 60 instrumentalists, including local high school students, will use Braxton’s compositions and improvisational languages to create a living sound world where the audience is free to listen and wander at will. This marks the project’s world premiere as a public performance.
