Real Quiet will perform "Songs for Lou Reed Finally," with Theo Bleckmann.
And Real Quiet performs "Pierced" with members of the FLUX Quartet, conducted by Alan Pierson.
"If everyone played contemporary music as well as the members of the trio Real Quiet do, my job would be 10 times more fun and a great deal more interesting," wrote Craig Smith. Real Quiet is a three man band dedicated to an exclusive repertoire of hard- edge acoustic and electric music created by today's leading composers. The three members- percussionist David Cossin, cellist Felix Fan and pianist Andrew Russo- are each highly accomplished soloists and chamber musicians whose careers have been dedicated to the advancement of contemporary music. Since their debut in 2004 performing Annie Gosfield's 'Wild Pitch' in New York City, RQ has appeared in the U.S., Europe and Asia premiering works by numerous composers.
One of the most fearless and important new-music ensembles around," (Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle) "who has a brought a new renaissance to quartet music," (Kyle Gann, The Village Voice) the FLUX Quartet has performed to rave reviews at many music centers around the world. FLUX captivates its audiences worldwide with a vivid repertoire balanced between notable pioneers as well as visionaries of tomorrow. From "classics" to new works, FLUX brings to all of its performances a "boundless, uninhibited energy." (New York Times) The quartet avidly seeks out collaborative relationships with genre-transcending artists. Strongly dedicated to uncovering new works both by it own members as well as emerging composers, FLUX actively pursues commissions, with recent grants from the American Composers Forum, Meet-The-Composer Foundation, USArtists International, and the Aaron Copland Fund. The spirit to explore and expand stylistic boundaries is a trademark of the FLUX Quartet. Partly as an homage to the 60's Fluxus art movement, violinist Tom Chiu founded the FLUX Quartet in the 90's with a quest similar to that of some of the original Fluxus artists: a search for a living art for all people with an embracing "anything-goes" spirit. To that end, FLUX has always been committed to projects of unique vision that defy aesthetic categorization.
