GENERATE MUSIC (World Premiere)6/8 Philly, 6/9 BrooklynTickets $10–$35 (pay-what-you-wish)Info/tickets: generate.prismquartet.comJoin the all-sax PRISM Quartet and friends for GENERATE MUSIC, a new body of work exploring the ties between Black and Jewish Americans. Eight new pieces amplify multiple perspectives to form a musical narrative with sounds that are ethereal, funky, mystical, somber, raucous, joyful, and everything in between. Five of the project’s commissioned composers are also musicians—clarinetist David Krakauer, violinist Diane Monroe, poet/vocalist Ursula Rucker, drummer Tyshawn Sorey, and trumpeter/vocalist Susan Watts—who will join PRISM, guitarist David Gilmore, and bassist Reuben Rogers to form an all-star ensemble and perform each other’s works. The program includes additional commissions from Yotam Haber, Myra Melford (with poet Erica Hunt), and Fred Wesley. Project artists have previously collaborated with James Brown, Wayne Shorter, The Roots, Itzhak Perlman, The Klezmatics, and more.CONCERTSJune 8, Doors at 6 PM (open to ticket holders for dinner/drinks), Concert at 8:30 PM: World Cafe Live, PhiladelphiaJune 9, Concert at 7 PM: Roulette, BrooklynTrailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdLK2165dV4 ...
