In Fall 2023, ISSUE Project Room celebrates its 20 year anniversary with a series of commissioned programs, orbiting around our annual Gala and affiliated Benefit events.
ISSUE is pleased to present a special outdoor performance featuring Che Chen and Rick Brown’s celebrated duo 75 Dollar Bill performing in both their “little big band” ensemble format and in duo formation. The event marks the 10 year anniversary of 75 Dollar Bill’s first appearance at ISSUE.
ISSUE is pleased to present a rare performance from Rocket Science, a collaborative improvising ensemble formed in 2012. Initially composed of Evan Parker, Peter Evans, Sam Pluta, and Craig Taborn, the group has expanded on occasion to include Ikue Mori on live electronics.
ISSUE is pleased to present new works from cellist, composer and sound-artist Leila Bordreuil and DC/NYC-based musician and organizer Luke Stewart’s Feedback Ensemble, a raucous group of musicians utilizing their own feedback apparatuses—in addition to their instruments—to explore graphic scores, sound, noise, and improvisation. Centering techniques of sonic feedback generation within instrumental practice, the notated compositions will emerge through a radically collaborative process, in which performers co-create the works.
ISSUE is pleased to present the debut U.S. performance from Parisian guitarist Nina Garcia, who performs solo in advance of her guest appearance as a part of ISSUE’s staging of Leila Bordreuil & Luke Stewart’s Feedback Ensemble.
