The New Yorker’s Alex Ross listed thingNY as part of the city’s burgeoning avant-garde classical music scene “striking an attitude of resistance to mainstream culture.” Comprised of composer-performers from the NYC metro area, thingNY revels in creating and performing unrelenting experimental new works with passion and enthusiasm, oscillating between the “sweeter sounds” and the “punishingly loud.” Since its first performance in October 2006, thingNY has produced four seasons of experimental music including a radio play by Beckett, a collaboratively-created opera and over a hundred premieres.

thingNY is:
Alejandro Acierto, clarinets
Gelsey Bell, soprano
Isabel Castellvi, cello
Paul Pinto, percussion
Erin Rogers, saxophone
Jeffrey Young, violin
