Formed in 1987 by composers Michael Gordon, David Lang and Julia Wolfe, Bang on a Can's mission is to give the most persuasive and exciting performances of the most genre-defying music in the world. It is part rock band and part amplified chamber group using cello, keyboard, electric guitar, bass and drums. Each player is completely at home with new music but has lived somewhere else as well - collaborating with Yo-Yo Ma, leading a gamelan, backing Mikhail Baryshnikov, touring with Paul Simon and Bob Dylan. The players bring their otherworldy experiences back to their life with the All-Stars, and their mixing creates an intense, hard-rocking approach to performance that no other group can match. Glenn Kotche, a master percussionist, si the drummer for the renowned modern rock group, Wilco.
