LIED CENTER PRESENTS lied.ku.edu About Asphalt Orchestra Asphalt Orchestra is a radical new street band that brings ambitious processional music to the mobile masses. Created by the founders of the “relentlessly inventive” new music presenter Bang on a Can (New York Magazine), Asphalt Orchestra unleashes innovative music from concert halls, rock clubs and jazz basements and takes it to the streets and beyond. The band brings together some of the most exciting rock, jazz and classical players in New York City who The New York Times called “12 top-notch brass and percussion players.” Asphalt Orchestra has two lives: as an outdoor guerrilla musical force choreographed by Susan Marshall and Mark DeChiazza and as Unpack the Elephant, the indoor experience, directed by Mark DeChiazza and Andrew Robinson. Asphalt Orchestra’s debut performances stretched 10 packed nights at Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival in New York over the summers of 2009 and 2010. Since then they have performed throughout the U.S. and Canada, at London’s Barbican Centre, at the TED Women conference in Washington D.C., New York’s Alice Tully Hall and Metropolitan Museum of Art and more. Their repertoire includes music written exclusively for the band by many renowned artists including David Byrne and Annie Clark (St. Vincent), Yoko Ono, Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins), Goran Bregovic, Tyondai Braxton (Battles) and Stew and Heidi Rodewald (Broadway and Spike Lee’s Passing Strange), alongside music arranged by the band ranging from Björk to Charles Mingus, Frank Zappa, Tom Zé, Thomas Mapfumo, Meshuggah and more. In Summer 2013, they premiered their cover of The Pixies’ classic album Surfer Rosa at Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival with Kronos Quartet. Featured on the cover of The Philadelphia Inquirer as “not your mother’s marching band,” Asphalt Orchestra has also been praised in Newsweek, The Economist, New York Magazine, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Onion and Time Out New York, as well as interviewed and showcased on WNYC’s “Soundcheck,” Philadelphia Weekly, PBS SundayArts and Time Out New York’s “The Volume.” Asphalt Orchestra’s debut album was released in 2010 by Cantaloupe Music. The group’s managing director is Ken Thomson. www.asphaltorchestra.com www.facebook.com/asphaltorchestra www.twitter.com/asphalt_orch
