At Knoxville's Big Ears festival over the past two years, I've seen several performances by Bang on a Can, both collectively as the BOAC All-Stars and by individual members. I have not yet failed to be delighted by a single show.
Back on May 3, they made my quarantined day by hosting a 6-hour BOAC Marathon on line, all members socially distanced and performing over Zoom from their individual homes (except for one married couple).
Here's Vicky Chow, David Cossin, Mariel Roberts, and Ken Thomson (keyboards), Mark Stewart (guitar), and Robert Black (bass) in a rare, performance of Glenn Branca's astonishing Movement Within, written specifically for the BOAC All-Stars in his unique tuning system and on his own original instruments. From the 2019 People's Commissioning Fund Concert in Merkin Hall at Kaufman Music Center, March 6, 2019.
