If you'll be in or around New York on Friday, Nov. 3, hope you can join us at ShapeShifter in Brooklyn as we get the Makrokosmos Orchestra back into action for an evening of genre-defying large-ensemble compositions by Richard Nelson and Tim O'Dell, featuring some of New York’s finest players.  Works on this adventurous program include the premiere of O'Dell's Gratitude (for Wayne Shorter) and a preview of Dissolve and Cohere from Nelson's upcoming album on Adhyâropa Records.
