New England Conservatory: Honors Contemporary Musical Arts Ensemble

As part of their Community Performances & Partnerships (CPP) program, New England Conservatory (NEC) joins the Boston Public Library for a concert by Saltare, which is comprised of the following performers:

• Avi Randall: Piano
• Carson McHaney: Violin
• G Rockwell: Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin
• Mattias Kaufmann: Accordion
• Leo Weisskoff: Bass

Saltare brings together musical and dance traditions from around the world and explores the many ways that dance music is shaped and understood. Saltare originally met in the New England Conservatory of Music’s Contemporary Musical Arts department, where they played in the Middle Eastern Ensemble. They have since moved into many other types of music, including Irish, Transylvanian, American Old Time, and Klezmer music, original compositions, and arrangements of European Classical Music. Each of their ventures explores the ways that rhythm, melody, and groove can create an immersive experience of energy and emotion, and express the joy from movement and dance.

Due to the ample seating available in the Rabb Lecture Hall, registration is not required; instead, seating is first come, first served. The runtime is 1 hour and 20 minutes.
