“Once Jay Campbell wraps himself around the cello, you’re willing to follow him anywhere,” said the Washington Post, and this is sure to be a very interesting journey!

Undertaken with his frequent collaborator, the “brilliant” and “effortlessly elegant” (New York Times) pianist Conor Hanick, this program involves the premieres of three new works: one by the iconoclastic John Zorn for quartet, and another for duo by Marcos Balter, a composer who has “wickedly original sense of humor and a fiercely imaginative palette” (The Chicago Tribune). A third premiere for electronics, cello, text, and video by Natacha Diels “is loosely about the accidental outcomes of pushing too far [and] how that manifests in our relationship with media and communication.”
