Trumpet player Steph Richards is well known on both coasts as a versatile and incisive improviser, who has worked with contemporary and pop music luminaries Anthony Braxton, John Zorn, David Byrne and Yoko Ono, among others. Phantom Power is a recent project combining structured composition and improvisation with Conduction, a conducted musical language created by pioneering cornetist/conductor Butch Morris, who was a close mentor to Richards. Under her direction, the ensemble expands and contracts from sextet to intimate duos and trios, exploring wide-open soundscapes and funky, rocky-infused grooves. "Steph Richards is a trumpeter whose skill set explodes every category." (WBGO)
Please note that the galleries close at 6pm and will not be open during the concert.
