BFA Trio
Sam Barfield, Joe Fonda, Barry Altschul
The BFA Trio will play the music from "Hurtling Between” – an album that situates deeply connected improvisers from three generations inside a lineage that stretches from the mid-1960s to the present moment. The album’s title reflects the trio’s fluency in moving between pulse and abstraction, structure and spontaneity, both central to Altschul’s legacy and still vital in contemporary practice.

Jason Kao Hwang’s Human Rites Trio
Jason Kao Hwang, Ken Filiano, Andrew Drury
The Trio members have strong reputations as fearless improvisers who are not shy to stretch themselves. The trio performs extended compositions by Jason Kao Hwang. For this colorful and continually intriguing program, in addition to the violin and bass (with Filiano sometimes playing bowed solos), Drury not only is heard on drums but on a wide assortment of percussion which includes gongs, aluminum pots, stainless steel bowls, a Tibetan prayer bowl, various bells and shells, and a sink faucet escutcheon.

Projects have included annual Dance Clarinets performances at GHMS, Black Composers Upsouth–a 3 day mini-festival in 2025 that was the first major retrospective of the work of composer Julius Hemphill, the production of two videos featuring compositions by Oliver Lake and Joseph Daley, and three additional performances in Brooklyn.
The opportunity to present curated, high-quality music in such a public space has been a great privilege and joy.
