Keith Eisenbrey will be playing the last two movements of his extensive Études d'éxecution imminent series. Aaron Keyt is joined by Jennifer K. Chung to premiere his new set of 4-hand works, Monsters. And Peter Nelson-King will be reprising his 28-piece suite The Magpie's Shadow, rounding out a new piano music showcase as varied as it is unique.

Keith Eisenbrey has co-run Banned Rehearsal, an ongoing experimental music collective, for nearly 40 years.

Peter Nelson-King plays trumpet with multiple ensembles, teaches piano and trumpet on the Eastside, and is a published poet.
COVID-19 Protocols: Performers will be masked; the audience is strongly encouraged to wear masks and respect social distancing if possible.
About Wayward Music Series
Each month, Nonsequitur and a community of like-minded organizations and artists present 10 concerts of adventurous and experimental music in the gorgeous Chapel Performance Space at the Good Shepherd Center: contemporary/post-classical composition, free improvisation and the outer limits of jazz, electronic/electroacoustic music, new instruments, phonography, sound art, and other innovative musics.
