Members of the New Millennium Orchestra with special guests DJ Spooky and Michael Kang (The String Cheese Incident) Coming directly from performing the closing ceremony of the Green Festival, members of the New Millennium Orchestra will present a "tone parallel" to the Earth's environment and the dynamic equilibrium famously represented by black and white daisies. Instrumentation includes flute, oboe, French horn, violin, viola, erhu (Chinese violin), laptop computer and turntables. DJ Spooky is an internationally renowned master of turntables and production, and has collaborated with classical musicians and orchestras the world over. He also produces "Subliminal Strings", an occasional musical event in New York City. He has also authored books on the new technology of music and performance. Michael Kang plays violin, manolin and guitar with The String Cheese Incident, one of the best known "jam bands" in the United States. He is co-founder of Our Future Now, a coalition of musicians and festival organizers dedicated to making mass gatherings more Green and environmentally responsible. Abominable Twitch is one of Chicago's most accomplished laptop performers. He has performed with the New Millennium Orchestra in a variety of venues. This promises to be THE after party for Green Festival at McCormick Place, and a musical event unmatched for its musical reach and imagination. Following the main performance, three prominent local DJ's will keep the room moving to Dubstep, breaks, and more. |
