EASY NOT EASY FESTIVAL: ROULETTE BENEFIT

Saturday, October 9, 20108:30 pm

EASY NOT EASY is a three night festival curated by Shinkoyo founders Matt Mehlan & Doron Sadja to help raise money for Roulette as they prepare to move into their new Art Deco concert hall in Downtown Brooklyn.

Using the idea of “Simple Scores” as a starting point, they’ve asked a wide array of some of NYC’s most exciting young artists to compose and perform a series of “simple” new scores as well as some scores by more established artists – including John Zorn, Pauline Oliveros, Robert Ashley (world premiere), Dan Deacon, Brenda Hutchinson, members of Z’s and Extra Life, and many many more!

Expect surprises.
