About this performance
DISSECTIONS features six interconnected pieces written and performed by Invisible Anatomy that probe the destruction, transformation, and intimacy inherent in peeling away our surfaces. Derived from a collaboratively generated text and presented with dramatic visuals, these newly composed works trace a line from ornate to bare, taking the scalpel to instruments, gestures, and language.
Formed in 2014 by seven graduates of the Yale School of Music—Samuel Adams (bass), Ian Gottlieb (cello), Paul Kerekes (piano), Brendon Randall-Myers (guitar), Daniel Schlosberg (piano), Ben Wallace (percussion), and Fay Wang (voice)—INVISIBLE ANATOMY (IA) is a composer-performer ensemble that explores the human body as the most fundamental aspect of music creation and performance. IA harnesses elements from classical, jazz, experimental rock, performance art and theater, combining an omnivorous stylistic palate, virtuosic physicality, and dramatic visual presentation.

Jeffrey Zeigler Presents: SONYC
Feb 12, 2016 - 8pm SONYC – String Orchestra of New York City, New York's leading conductor less string orchestra, comes to National Sawdust with works by four East–Coast composers: Aaron Jay Kernis'- "Sarabanda in Memoriam" for a Brooklyn premiere. This piece showcases the lyricism and melodic gifts that has earned Kernis so much praise. From Joel Friedmann, we have the New York premiere of"Movable Home" – an energetic and virtuosic work that juxtaposes the intimacy of the string quartet with power of the orchestra. This work was co-commissioned by SONYC. Reena Esmail is drawing on her Indian roots in "Teen Murti" – a sonic response to the famous sculpture in front of Nehru's residence – a New York premiere. Finally, "Blues for Black Hoodies" by Randy Woolf is a SONYC commission through a Meet the Composer grant. This work uses the poetry of Wordisbon alongside urban rhythms to make a powerful political statement.
