Chimera Concert

  • Conkling Hall 8 Methodist Hill Road Rensselaerville, NY, 12147 United States (map)

An extraordinary evening with Chimera, featuring Iva Bittová, Steve Gorn, Timothy Hill, Michael Bisio and a special guest, Antonín Fajt.

The artists in this collective ensemble are all master musicians, innovators, composers and improvisors. 

They have deeply immersed themselves in streams of avant-garde jazz, Indian raga, Moravian folk music, overtone singing, as well as early and modern European classical, American folk, etc.

Individually they have performed with a stunning array of influential creative artists, such as Fred Frith, Bang-on-a-Can All-Stars, ETHEL, Paul Winter, Jack DeJohnette, Paul Simon, David Hykes, Pauline Oliveros, Bill Frisell, Matthew Shipp, Tani Tabbal, Joe McPhee, to name a few.

All this they leave at the door as they enter the shared space to meet in the moment, sharing a deep respect of each other’s experience and perspective, anticipating fresh expressions of deep feeling, awestruck beauty and sheer delight.

Together they explore new territory to create music that defies description. 

Door opens at 6:00 PM.

Tickets online or at the door.
