Hi Everyone!

Just a reminder that we have an amazing program planned for Wednesday evening 7PMat Mt Ida Preservation Hall in Troy, NY! Beni Adam will have a special debut of this new collaboration to begin the evening.

Beni Adam (“human beings” in Arabic) is the new duo of neighbors and friends Adam Elabd and Adam Tinkle, centered on intimate conversational improvisational interplay between two clarinets and timbral exploration of the woodwind families and their electronic prostheses.

We tested sound with them last month and it was mesmerizing. It’s truly a don’t miss!

Chris Jonas: Music From The Deserts follows with an exciting powerhouse gathering of talent. Music From The Deserts is a project of Santa Fe-based composer/sax player Chris Jonas, featuring Thomas Heberer on cornet, bassist Cyrus Campbell and drummer Andrew Drury. (More on the artists)

Music from the Deserts explores music written in complete solitude during winter camping over three years during the Pandemic, created in Arizona’s Barry Goldwater Missile Range adjacent to the Trump Border Wall that cuts across Arizona’s granite Tinajas Altas. This collection of music is in the midst of touring worldwide in 2023-25. Jonas’s music contains some elements of jazz while mixing elements that are quirky, delicate, weirdly groovy, polyphonic, and a mixture of the disjointed and melodic. 

RSVP suggested — we look forward to sharing this experience with you all!
