Ensemble ACJW and Brooklyn Rider Reviewed

June 15, 2011 — Mike

From :

Strains of Bartok, Britten, Radiohead and Pink Floyd echoed through the musically omnivorous soundscape that unfolded in the first of two sets at Le Poisson Rouge on Sunday evening, blurring genres and centuries into one enigmatic, continuous sequence. “Was It All a Dream?,” the title of this imaginative hourlong program, reflected the nocturnal hues of the works, played with panache by the excellent Ensemble ACJW (the performing arm of the Academy, a program run by the Juilliard School, Carnegie Hall and the Weill Music Institute).
