Animé Winds is Austin’s emerging classical crossover ensemble, and 2010 holds a lot of promise for us!
South by Southwest is coming! Animé Winds has worked with SXSW folks to bring the Classical Crossover showcase. Animé Winds will be premiering unconventional and exciting works for woodwind instruments with percussion, including newly commissioned pieces by Austin composers Graham Reynolds and Peter Stopchinski (of Golden Hornet Project).
Animé Winds conceived this showcase and came together with SXSW Music to select groups from across the United States. Performers include PROJECT trio from Brooklyn, Real Vocal String Quartet from San Francisco, rock harpist Ricky Rasura from Los Angeles, and the cello/percussion band Break of Reality from New
Ending the showcase will be a spectacular performance featuring music from World of Warcraft, the popular online game from Blizzard Entertainment with 14 million subscribers. With musicians drawn from the showcase, the set will include visuals by Hollywood projection artist D of Darkstack Productions, tying together the music, film and interactive portions of SXSW.
The showcase will take place on Saturday, March 20, 2010 at Club One15, 115 San Jacinto St. Austin Texas, 8PM – 2AM. Join us for an evening of terrific virtuosic music and what is shaping as one of the best concerts at SXSW in 2010!
