FEATURING
Rudresh Mahanthappa, alto saxophone

The fearless PRISM Quartet joins forces with Rudresh Mahanthappa, hailed by The Guardian as an “alto saxophonist who astutely fuses Western and Indian traditions with mind-bending jazz rhythms,” in a concert featuring an astonishing cross-section of music, including Night Music by rising-star Emma O’Halloran from PRISM’s brand new album Animal, Vegetable, Mineral; I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE FOR MY TONE TONIGHT by Mahanthappa and John Coltrane’s Dear Lord from PRISM’s groundbreaking Heritage/Evolution project; Italian composer Salvatore Sciarrino’s Pagine (Pages), a book of stunning adaptations of traditional classical works by Bach, Scarlatti, Gershwin, and Gesualdo; plus music by PRISM’s own Matthew Levy.
