This event will be the first of a series of performances curated throughout August and September by TAC's 510 Resident Artist Robert Lopez

8:30pm
Mezzacappa/Lopez Duo is a pairing of improvisers which explore the terrain between propulsive intensity and textural fervor. The two initially performed together as a part of a large improvised ensemble conducted by Philip Greenleaf. Since then they have come to know each others voices by using specific improv strategies as well as by venturing into completely uncharted territory.

9:15pm
The Broken-Trap Ensemble—which features Teddy Rankin-Parker, Kristina Dutton, Aram Shelton, and Daniel Pearce—explores the group dynamic through the use of strings, reeds, and percussion, employing traditional and experimental techniques. The quartet creates a latticework of sounds whose origins are slyly dissembled, with one instrument reflecting the timbre and texture of another as the group burrows into a singular sound.
