$44.48 advance, $49.48 day of event
- Mat Maneri, viola
- Lucian Ban, piano
Drawing from their NPR Album Of the Year Transylvanian Folk Songs—featuring legendary reeds-man John Surman—and their new ECM duo release Transylvanian Dance, pianist Lucian Ban and violist Mat Maneri will reimagine through improvisation the Béla Bartók Field Recordings of folk songs from Transylvania. The unique acoustic possibilities of the National Sawdust space will help bring century-old songs back to life, using live performance, audio from the original Edison wax cylinder recordings, rare handwritten manuscripts, and photographs taken by Bartók himself in his field trips.
