On Saturday, December 14th, 2024 at 7pm at Red Eye NY 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 chamber instruments, spoken word and compositional techniques that blur the boundaries of contemporary chamber music and electronic club sounds.
Joining the two composers will be The CompCord Ensemble, consisting of Funda Cizmecioglu – violin, Todd Rewoldt – alto sax, Franz Hackl – trumpet, and Lesi Mei – piano. The event will also feature a fashion show presented by Rain Creative LLC. Electro acoustic chamber music mixed with runway models and fashion by ParaStyling and others. Also joining the event will be Composers Concordance's "Murderer's Row of Poets" represented by Robert C. Ford and John Pietaro. The event will feature vocalists Xavier, who will be performing a new track "Dirty Mind" and vocalists Coby Koehl who will be performing a remix of "Life is Free" as produced by Casa de Galindo.
Red Eye NY rests right at the base of Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan, adjacent to Port Authority. With state of the art sound & lighting, the venue hosts an eclectic range of events spanning from monthly Drag Queen Opera concerts to weekly open mics to one-off Broadway performances such as Jennifer Holliday.

Staying in rotation for 41 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 Gene Pritsker and Shanan Estreicher. 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.
"Composers Concordance..a veritable New York new music institution of concerts, album production and multiple ensembles under a sweeping, tenacious brand, thriving on the emulsion of contemporary classical, free improv, jazz and rock, overt humor and fearless political statements, all very much in evidence..The ensemble..was masterful throughout.”-John Pietaro, The New York City Jazz Record
