about

This Orchestra of Excited Strings was formed in 1999 to perform new compositions for concerts at Tonic in New York in a concert together with Tony Conrad and Jim O'Rourke; followed by performances at MIT and at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

The ensemble represented a collaboration drawing from a number of generations. In contrast to the well-known talents of Bang On A Can All-Stars members (Evan Ziporyn, Marc Stewart and Robert Black), Jeff Lieberman and Laurel P. Smith, both graduates from MIT were both in their early 20's. Danny Tunick, with his extensive background in both rock/punk and classical styles, provides a solid driving force which is inspiring for the entire ensemble.
