John Zorn returns to Roulette for the second of four concerts celebrating his 70th birthday with his infamous game piece Cobra, which first premiered at Roulette in 1984. Renowned as a landmark work, Cobra remains one of the most commonly played compositions in new music. Under the direction of the composer himself this latest performance brings together a stellar lineup of New York’s preeminent purveyors of new and improvised music. Cobra is never really Cobra without Zorn himself at the helm—and here the music takes some surprising turns that even he never expected.
