From New York’s ISSUE Project Room:

Iceland’s acclaimed Tectonics Festival is back for the second-annual New York edition: Tectonics Festival New York 2015, presented by ISSUE Project Room over three evenings, May 7, 8 & 9, at the First Unitarian Congregational Society, Brooklyn, and Abrons Art Center, NYC.

Called an “enterprising new-music festival” by The New York Times, Tectonics provides a rare forum for innovative approaches in contemporary composition, exploring improvisation, interdisciplinary collaborations, and the boundaries of experimental performance practice.

Festival highlights include a new commission for ensemble by Nate Young of Wolf Eyes with Mario Diaz de Leon, solo pipe-organ works by Klaus Lang and Morton Feldman, classic compositions by David Berhman and Julius Eastman, and the premiere of Nate Wooley’s Seven Storey Mountain V.
