New York’s fiery music group, Bang on a Can All-Stars, which “combin[es] the power and punch of a rock band with the precision and clarity of a chamber ensemble,” (The New York Times), unveils new Japan Society-commissioned works drawing inspiration from Rimpa – a Japanese painting movement that spanned the 17th through 19th centuries. The program features two pieces: one by red-hot New York-based composer Vijay Iyer, and the second by celebrated Japanese post-minimalist composer Mamoru Fujieda. In addition, the All-Stars revive Somei Satoh’s Shu (Spells, 2004), for the first time since its world premiere at the Society in 2004. Shu is enhanced by a Rimpa art-inspired visual landscape created specially for this concert by leading Japanese motionographer Nobuyuki Hanabusa.<\/p>\n
