Composers Concordance presents a night of chamber and electronic music by Composers/DJ’s Gilbert Galindo - aka Casa De Galindo, & Gene Pritsker - aka Di.J. Noizepunk. These two eclectic musicians combine electronics, live sound manipulation with strings, spoken word and compositional techniques that blur the boundaries of contemporary chamber music and electronic club sounds.
Joining the two composers will be violinist Russell Kotcher & Sabina Torosjan, violist Laura Sacks, cellist Luis Mercado and poet/narrator Robert C. Ford.
The concert is also Gilbert’s birthday celebration which will include performances of his 'Let Us Bloom' for violin and viola and 'Praise By Your Being' for string quartet. Gene will present 'The Vanity of Existence' for string quartet and Samplestra/Di.J., ‘ReAbsorbed' for string quartet, 'Footprints of Steel' for Narrator and Di.J. as well as a premiere of ‘Gilbert G. ReMix’ in honor of his Birthday.
The concert will also be live-streamed on the Composers Concordance Facebook Page.

Staying in rotation for 37 years in NYC is a rare feat. In the case of a new music presenting organization, it requires not only diligence and cognizance of achievements of the past but also an ethic of keeping one's ear to the ground for emerging stylistic and technological developments, as well as talented new composers on the scene. Composers Concordance, founded in 1984 by Joseph Pehrson and Patrick Hardish, advised by Otto Luening, strives to present contemporary music in innovative ways, with an emphasis on thematic programming. Directors Gene Pritsker and Dan Cooper co-curate the programs and lead the CompCord Ensemble, Chamber Orchestra, String Orchestra, and Big Band. Associate Directors are Milica Paranosic, Peter Jarvis, Debra Kaye, and Seth Boustead. Composers Concordance has also created a Naxos-distributed record label: Composers Concordance Records, co-directed by Peter Jarvis. Composers Concordance's overriding vision is to promote contemporary music, composers, and new works as a rightful and respected part of society. Good music performed and recorded well, pushing the boundaries of sound and composition.
