3Nights at Ecstatic
3Nights is a series of three portrait concerts that each focus on a collaborative, evening-length presentation of three distinct composers' works featuring percussion. It is a dialogue between artists from disparate styles of music.
The 2015 edition of 3Nights — January 15-16 and April 2 — is co-presented by Arts Brookfield and The Ecstatic Music Festival. This year's series features Ian Williams —founder/guitarist of powerhouse, power trio: Battles, the composers from Wet Ink — Alex Mincek, Sam Pluta and Eric Wubbels — and the rock sensation Xiu Xiu, with choreographer Deborah Lohse and her Shakedown Dance Collective. |
