We bring together some of LA’s most fearless musicians—Andrew Tholl (violin), Vicki Ray (piano), Marlon Martinez (bass), and Brian Walsh (clarinet/saxophone)—to co-devise a bold new work that defies genre, pushes boundaries, and celebrates collaboration, on stage in real time,. Expect a night of sonic adventure and discovery, as Wild Up continues to bring an exciting and immersive perspective to contemporary chamber music.

About

In this installment, join composer-performer Andrew Tholl for an evening of music that navigates the space between notation and improvisation. A quartet of composer-performers reshapes the traditional chamber ensemble through spontaneous collaboration and experimental form. Centered on shared authorship, the work unfolds through dialogue and intuition: it's music that listens as much as it speaks.
