Bang on a Can All-Stars and Trio Mediæval – Steel Hammer November 17, 2009

Part chamber ensemble and part rock band, Bang on a Can All-Stars create music as intense and intoxicating as it is unconventional, working with some of the most important figures in contemporary music.

In this work, they are joined by the unnervingly beautiful voices of one of the world's premiere early music vocal ensembles, Norway's Trio Mediæval, in a performance of Julia Wolfe's Steel Hammer, influenced by the legends and music of Appalachia and featuring mountain dulcimers, wooden bones, banjo, steel hammers and more. An unforgettable and uniquely Carolina experience.

"The brightest light of New York's avant-garde music scene."
