Artisanal Shanties, live with @varicktrio at @decodamusic chamber music festival in Asheville, NC 👏 ❤️

Can you recognize the long, manic volatile songs of the Jewelweed Wren? This rare, tiny, brown-and-yellow specimen, with just a touch of green on its head, was dreamt up by the brilliant @bradballiett as part of his fascinating “Imaginary Birds” series of pieces.
About a week ago, these feathered friends gathered in Prospect Park and got into a full-blown singing party for a couple hours! 🎵🐦⬛
The beautiful sounds in the background come from one of these elusive species: the Frankensparrow, wonderfully embodied by @danielrlinden ✨
Thank you, @graemesteelejohnson, for generously lending this loud and tiny bird your E-flat clarinet! 🙏
🎥: by my fave, @cortroberts 🥰

Last week in our hometown of NYC, we presented our fourth annual installment of “Music for Transformation: Songs from the Inside”, a very special project featuring work written by incarcerated musicians from across the United States. We were joined by a full band of outstanding guests and people: Mikael Darmanie (piano), Mike Bono (guitar), Greg Chudzik (bass) and Matt Smallcomb (drums). The program included original instrumental compositions alongside original songs from Lee Correctional featuring our very own Sarah Elizabeth Charles (vocalist). We shared this extraordinary music in concert at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Room and recorded all of the works in the studio for two days at Power Station NYC. To say this was a memorable week is an understatement. We are beyond excited to share this epic music with you in the coming months!!
There are many people to think for making such a huge project to come to life each year: our project leader and master arranger, Brad Balliett, the City of New York and its Cultural Development Fund, the artistic team and Resnick staff at Carnegie Hall, our mentor and friend Betsie Becker, Musicambia and Musical Connections, the donors and supporters who contribute to these projects, the audience who came out to support, our wonderful record producer and friend Tom Bergeron, engineer Ben Miller and the team at Power Station, Decoda arrangers George Meyer & Kris Saebo, and most importantly, the composers and collaborators we have had the privilege to make music with over the many years at Sing Sing, Lee Correctional, San Quentin, and Cheshire Correctional.

Experiential Orchestra has one final free event of the 25-26 season, bringing Brad Balliett’s imagination of bird song to Prospect Park in Brooklyn on Saturday June 6, at 1pm and again at 3pm.
First, the seven wind players will perform Arboretum, which is an expression of the forest and really beautiful; then the seven players transform to “Imaginary Birds,” and you and your friends, kids, family, walk through the path in the woods looking to find them.
This event is free and open to everyone, but we have found it is especially magical for families, kids, and bird lovers.
One of my great joys as Music Director of EXO is to forge wildly imaginative creative partnerships, and this vision of Brad's is brilliant, joyful, and beautiful.
Please join us in Prospect Park tomorrow and come say hello if you do!
