I’m traveling East with The Hurd Ensemble in late July for two record release shows at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and Spectrum in New York City. We were invited to perform at the Kennedy Center by special request of composer-in-residence Mason Bates, a fellow San Franciscan, lover of all things electro-acoustic, and all around good guy. We of course jumped on the opportunity. No trip to the East Coast would be complete without visiting New York though, so we set up an event at the fantastic Lower East Side venue Spectrum with Kills to Kisses, the solo bass/vocal/electronics act by Australian double-bass 
pioneer Lisa Dowling (Concert Black). Praised as “Bjork-like” and “innovative” by the New York Times, Lisa has been a influential force in the NY post-classical scene for years, and will be joining us as the only artists to perform at the venue in July. We’re really looking forward to celebrating this release with our East Coast friends!
