Corps Exquis Album Launch Party!
Hello, all!
We had an absolute blast last weekend with our DoubleBill Festival. We got a lot of positive feedback about the festival concept, and a post recapping the weekend’s events will be coming soon. But first, we are so happy to tell you about our upcoming CD Release Party on Tuesday, June 4, 8pm, at Roulette. We’re very excited to present Corps Exquis live with stunning video from NYC’s brightest artists: Alexis Gambis, Antoine Catala, Brina Thurston, Yui Kugimiya, Brian Gibson, Satan’s Pearl Horses, Andrew Steinmetz, and Teddy Stern.
The album itself is coming out on June 25, so come see it live first!
Also performing will be viola virtuosa Nadia Sirota, who will perform selections from her critically-acclaimed recent solo album, Baroque (New Amsterdam Records). Composer/performer Missy Mazzoli will join Sirota for a rendition of Mazzoli’s composition Tooth and Nail, a hypnotic blend of electronic textures and deft performance. This performance marks the first time since the release of Baroque that these two will share a stage.

DoubleBill Festival
Dear friends,
We are excited to present TRANSIT’s first-ever DoubleBill Festival on May 25, 26, and 27. If you have followed us for the past several years, you will recall that each DoubleBill concert is a mini festival of sorts. We like to think of a DoubleBill show as two concerts, minus the jet lag from international travel. (Hopefully our venues provide you with better legroom, too!) Our DoubleBill shows include time between the two halves of the concert for refreshments, mingling, and a chance to meet the composers featured in the show. So, really, it’s like two concerts and a party.
We digress. The DoubleBill Festival is going to be spectacular! May 25 at the Actors Fund Art Center (Brooklyn) will feature composers from NYC and Denmark. On May 26, we will be at the DiMenna Center (W. 37th St.) for NYC vs. Australia. Bang on a Can All-Star Vicky Chow will be the performer on the May 27th concert of NYC and the Netherlands, which will be at Church of the Advent Hope (E. 87 and Park Ave). Do you need to write that down? It’s all on our DoubleBill page, along with the program info and press release.
More updates as we get closer!
xo,
TRANSIT
