Interpretations: Anthony Davis, Earl Howard, Gerry Hemingway, Kyle Motl

Thursday, April 10, 20258:00 pm

The 35th season of the Interpretations Series continues with a program of compositions and improvisations featuring Anthony Davis (piano), Earl Howard (saxophone and synthesizer), Gerry Hemingway (percussion) and Kyle Motl (bass). Reactivating their decades-long history of collaboration, Davis and Howard will lead this dynamic quartet, appearing as a group for the first time, in a wide-ranging evening of creative music. Freely moving between solos, duos, trios and the full quartet, the group will perform new compositions by Davis and Howard, as well as free and structured improvisations.

A livestream will be available free of charge at 8pm on the day of the performance and archived for future viewing. Watch below or on YouTube.


The Interpretations Series, now in its 35th season, is a New York-based concert series focusing on the relationship between contemporary composers and their interpreters. Sometimes the interpreters are the composers themselves; more often, the series features performers who specialize in the interpretation of new music. Since its inception in 1989, Interpretations has featured leading figures in contemporary music and multimedia, including Muhal Richard Abrams, Robert Ashley, Anthony Braxton, Thomas Buckner, FLUX Quartet, Joseph Kubera, Annea Lockwood, and Alvin Lucier, Roscoe Mitchell, Phill Niblock, Pauline Oliveros, Ursula Oppens, and Morton Subotnick.
