Bang on a Can: Long Play Festival at Roulette
Four performances in one day at Roulette, as a part of Long Play Festival 2026.
2:30 pm – Morton Feldman Three Voices with Charlotte Mundy
5:00 pm – Trevor Dunn’s Trio-Convulsant avec Folie à Quatre
7:30 pm – Philip Glass Glassworks with Bang on a Can All-Stars
10:00 pm – Secret Chiefs 3
For Feldman’s 100th birthday, Charlotte Mundy performs Three Voices, which was written as an homage to three of his friends: Philip Guston, Frank O’Hara, and Joan La Barbara. The live singer’s voice intertwines with pre-recordings of the other two parts, mostly without text, but with the occasional blowing in of O’Hara’s “Wind.”
Long Play presents Seances by Trevor Dunn’s Trio-Convulsant avec Folie à Quatre. Two previous albums had been released by Trio-Convulsant (Mary Halvorsen, Ches Smith, and Trevor Dunn). In this third installment Trevor adds a string and winds quartet with cellist Tomeka Reid, the violin/viola of Carla Kihlstedt, flutist Anna Webber and Oscar Noriega on bass clarinet and clarinet.
The Bang on a Can All-Stars premiere a brand-new arrangement of Glassworks, via Glass’ longtime collaborator Michael Riesman. In 1982 Philip Glass became the first composer since Aaron Copland to join the CBS Masterworks label. His first album for the label, Glassworks, tripled all sales projections, pleasing audiences, critics and Glass himself.
Secret Chiefs 3 is an American experimental rock group led by guitarist/composer Trey Spruance, performing a wide range of musical styles, mostly instrumental, including surf rock, Persian, neo-Pythagorean, Indian, death metal, film music, and electronic music. Spruance has expressed interest in, and drawn inspiration from, various mystical or occult systems such as Sufism, Kabbalah, Hermeticism, and alchemy.
