People's Commissioning Fund Concert April 2nd
March 13, 2009
On April 2nd, 2009, Bang on a Can All-Stars return to New York's Merkin Hall for their annual People's Commissioning Fund Concert, with special guest Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth.
The All-Stars will perform world premieres by international up-and-coming composers Kate Moore (Australia-Holland) and Lok Yin Tang (Hong Kong), and Snakes & Ladders by guitar wizard Fred Frith. The second half of the concert is a terrific double-feature: a recently commissioned work by the legendary American composer Alvin Lucier, and the New York Premiere of a live collaboration composed for the group by Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth, for which Ranaldo will join the All-Stars on stage. The concert is a special edition of WNYC's [New Sounds Live](http://www.wnyc.org/shows/newsounds/, hosted by John Schaefer.
