Louis Andriessen (by F. Capatella)

On Friday, September 21, at the Lower East Side venue University Settlement, TILT Brass joins forces with Dave Douglas’ Festival of New Trumpet (FONT) to present a singular evening of vanguard brass music premieres. Part of FONT’s month-long 10th anniversary celebration, the program features the long-overdue New York Premiere of venerated Dutch composer Louis Andriessen’s seminal 1972 40+ minute tour de force de Volharding (Perseverance) and the World Premiere of the brass ensemble and solo trumpet installment of iconoclast Nate Wooley’s Seven Storey Mountain project.

These works as well as trumpeter/composer Dave Ballou’s for three trumpets (written for and premiered by TILT in 2003) will be brought to life by stellar TILT Brass regulars (trumpeters Gareth Flowers, Tim Leopold, and Chris DiMeglio, trombonists Jen Baker, Will Lang, and TILT Director Chris McIntyre) and special guests virtuoso pianist Stephen Gosling, and Matt Bauder, Jackson Moore, and Dan Blake on saxophones.
