Metropolitan Museum Artists in Concert
For the Metropolitan Museum Artists in Concert’s 10th anniversary season, the ensemble’s artistic coordinator, cellist Edward Arron, has assembled three programs of the lively mix of repertoire that has elicited critical praise over the last decade. To round out the season, Colin Jacobsen, violin; Nicholas Cords, viola; and Edward Arron, cello, perform a program of Biber’s Passacaglia in G Minor for Solo Violin; and a string trio arrangement by Dmitry Sitkovetsky of Bach’s Goldberg Variations.
These concerts are generously supported by the Brodsky Family Foundation.
Tickets: $35

So Percussion & Man Forever
Complementing the exhibition PUNK: Chaos to Couture, Met Museum Presents explores the DIY and experimental components of punk with an evening of drumming by the celebrated ensemble So Percussion and Man Forever, composer/percussionist John Colpitts’s experimental drum project. Called an “experimental powerhouse” by The Village Voice, So Percussion—America’s premier modern percussion ensemble—brings their adventurous spirit to the Met Museum to explore the DIY and experimental components of punk. John Colpitts (aka Kid Millions) is a Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and writer who is perhaps best known as the drummer for Oneida. Man Forever is his vehicle for exploring the outer limits of drum experimentation and performance. Since 2010, Man Forever has released two full-length albums and two live recordings. www.sopercussion.com
