Braxton 60th Birthday Celebration

From Gino Robair:

As part of the annual Matthew Sperry Memorial Festival, we will be celebrating the 60th birthday of Anthony Braxton by assembling a 60-piece creative orchestra to play pieces from throughout his vast catalog of works. The event will take place on Saturday evening, June 4, 2005 at 21 Grand, Oakland, CA. We’re still working out the details of the instrumentation and pieces, but it’ll combine ensemble works, solo pieces, sections of GTM, and a variety of other structures.
