On October 9, Versipel New Music presented a guest artist concert featuring Michael McCurdy on percussion and Christa Van Alstine on clarinet/bass clarinet at the Marigny Opera House.

The concert featured world premiere performances of works by Philip Schuessler, Max Duykers and Kari Besharse along with works by Tristan Perich and David Lang.

Check out the world premiere performance of Philip Schuessler’s fireflies were making decodable signals on behalf of stranded spirits, or that a bat was writing a legible tale of torture in the bruised and branded sky here.

We hope to have more audio and video of the show posted soon!
