Night After Night: Spring Break
CONCERT PREVIEW
April 7, 2026
Steve Smith previews Metropolis Ensemble’s April 8th performance of Canto Ostinato at The New School.
“Michigan instrumentalist and composer Erik Hall has recorded Canto Ostinato (1976–79), a watershed minimalist work by Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt, in a multitracked solo rendition, and Sandbox Percussion has performed the work with other keyboardists. Now, Hall and Sandbox join forces with Metropolis Ensemble for a fresh account of the work: a lush, cinematic rendition they’ve documented on a new Western Vinyl recording. If you can’t attend in person, the concert will stream live on YouTube.”
