Daniel DruckmanNEW YORK –  The Juilliard Percussion Ensemble, led by director Daniel Druckman, presents “Founders: Percussion Music of Michael Gordon, David Lang, and Julia Wolfe” on Monday, April 4, 2016, at 7:30pm in Alice Tully Hall. The free concert features works by the founders and creators of the Bang on a Can festival. Gordon, Lang, and Wolfe have all written innovative and influential pieces for percussion ensemble.

“What these three composers bring to our world is a broadening of boundaries and influences,” notes Daniel Druckman, director of the Juilliard Percussion Ensemble. “Most notably, perhaps, the energy and primal force of rock, but not just that. Popular culture, kitsch, street noise, found objects, punk aesthetic, new math —  all find their way in, in equal measure, forcing us to re-examine our ideas about content and context.”

The program features Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Julia Wolfe’s Dark Full Ride (2002) performed by Ethan Ahmad, Joseph Desotelle, Anthony Guarino, and Christian Krogvold-Lundqvist; David Lang’s the so-called laws of nature (2002) performed by Sae Hashimoto, Brandon Ilaw, David Yoon, and Joshua Vonderheide; and Michael Gordon’s Timber(2009) performed by Joseph Bricker, Tsz Ho Chan, Tyler Cunningham, Jake Darnell, Taylor Hampton, Hanna Kim, and Gregory LaRosa.

About the Juilliard Percussion Ensemble

Julliard Percussion EnsembleThe Juilliard Percussion Ensemble was founded in the late 1960s by Saul Goodman. It has also been led by Roland Kohloff, and by its current music director, Daniel Druckman. In addition to its yearly series at Alice Tully Hall and the Peter Jay Sharp Theater, the ensemble has concertized throughout the New York area. Recent guest appearances include the Danish Wave festival at Merkin Hall, the New Works/October series at Miller Theatre, Cutting Edge series at Greenwich House and several appearances at Carnegie Hall’s Perspectives series, curated by Maurizio Pollini and Leif Ove Andsnes. In 2001, it collaborated with Juilliard’s Music Technology Center (now the Center for Innovation in the Arts) to present an evening of interactive music, and is often featured on the school’s annual FOCUS festival. In the fall of 2005, the ensemble collaborated with Juilliard’s Dance Division in the world premiere of an evening-length work choreographed by Elliot Feld, set to Steve Reich’s Drumming, which inaugurated Juilliard’s centennial year celebration. In 2007, they joined forces with the Percussion Ensemble of Manhattan School of Music to present several performances of Charles Wuorinen’s seminal Percussion Symphony.
