Puppets, Presents and Clowns. Serve it up!
Hey hey! The puppets just get cheaper, sluttier, and wear more hairspray!
Slutty Puppets is sloshy, squishy, rag-tag, and DIRTY. Filled with puppets, presents, and clowns, Slutty Puppets is an evening of wacko performance acts. Very short and very sweet! Between 8-10 puppet variety acts, under 10 minutes each, grab the stage, work the stage, and love the stage in very special ways that only puppets and their friends can. This time, its personal.

Darmstadt and The Manhattan New Music Project presents:
HANS TAMMEN & THIRD EYE ORCHESTRA
JASON HWANG & SPONTANEOUS RIVER
In a new collaboration with "Darmstadt - Classics Of The Avantgarde", the Manhattan New Music Project presents two ensembles as a part of their New Composers Series, highlighting living composers with new approaches to jazz and other forms of new music.
8pm: HANS TAMMEN & THIRD EYE ORCHESTRA
Hans Tammen uses Earle Brown's open form composition idea as a starting point to create a large multi-movement piece, thoroughly composed and purely improvised at the same time. "Everything about Third Eye Orchestra... indicates mastery and control" (Howard Mandel / CD Liner Notes) -- http://www.tammen.org/ens_teo.html
 10pm: JASON KAO HWANG & SPONTANEOUS RIVER
Composer/Violinist Jason Kao Hwang’s Spontaneous River is an orchestra of over 25 string improvisers, including bassist Ken Filiano and along with drummer Andrew Drury. The power of their music is drawn from both the sonic unity of strings and the undeniable individualism of each musician’s “voice.” Mr. Hwang’s compositions are often spontaneous architectures consisting of notated passages and guided improvisations, to express stories abundant with flora, fauna and dreams of the human spirit.

New Amsterdam Records presents
UNDISCOVERED ISLANDS
BUY TICKETS HERE!
The fourth installation in a series of headliner musical events from some of the brightest stars in the city's blossoming indie classical community.
Song from the Uproar: The Lives and Deaths of Isabelle Eberhardt is a new multi-media mini-opera by composer Missy Mazzoli and filmmaker Stephen Taylor, directed by Gia Forakis.
This 40-minute work is based on the life and writings of Isabelle Eberhardt, a Swiss woman who, in the late 1800's, traveled to North Africa in search of adventure and spiritual fulfillment. As a converted Muslim and a member of a Sufi cult, she passed herself off as a man in order to traverse the strict gender divide and travel without restriction. Through a combination of newly created music, sung text and film, the audience is completely immersed in the surreal landscapes of Eberhardt's life.
Vocalist Abigail Fischer sings text adapted from Eberhardt's journals, accompanied by five-piece group NOW Ensemble, all against the backdrop of Stephen Taylor's moving and exotic films, created specifically for this production. Gia Forakis directs, and costumes are created by Alixandra Gage Englund.
Opening the evening is a special preview performance of William Brittelle's Television Landscape, a 45-minute, fully-notated concept album that brings together the epic tradition of Pet Sounds, Purple Rain, and OK Computer with Brittelle's idiosyncratic, "totally electrifying" (Time Out New York) compositional style.
