Bang on a Can
Bang on a Can was started in 1987 by co-artistic directors Michael Gordon, David Lang and Julia Wolfe. Since that time they have presented more than one hundred and fifty musical events in New York City, including opera, shadow puppet theatre and twelve Bang on a Can Marathons. They have also founded the astonishingly successful chamber ensemble, the Bang on a Can All Stars and SPIT Orchestra. From a humble beginning nearly 20 years ago, Bang on a Can has grown into a major force in the presentation of new music, with multiple touring productions, new multi-media performances such as Carbon Copy Building, Shadow Bang, Lost Objects, and more.
