Michael Gordon – House Music
Bang on a Can presents a special one-hour live, online event featuring cellist Ashley Bathgate performing Michael Gordon’s House Music. Gordon composed House Music for Bathgate, which was written to be performed only in intimate spaces, such as a living room, for a small audience. House Music is an hour-long concert of virtuosic cello songs, premiered by Bathgate in The Tiny Cello House on the IJ waterfront in Amsterdam as part of the 2018 Cello Biennale Amsterdam. For this upcoming special live-stream event, she will broadcast directly from her home to yours, speaking informally, recreating the experience of being together in a living room.
The livestream will take place at 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific.
Once you purchase a ticket, you will receive a receipt. 24 hours before the show, we will send you a link to the concert. We are limiting the audience size, and we plan to host a special Zoom hangout after the concert, where you can ask questions of Michael and Ashley. We look forward to seeing all your faces after the show, just like a real concert.

About Ashley Bathgate
American cellist Ashley Bathgate has been described as an “eloquent new music interpreter” (New York Times) and “a glorious cellist” (The Washington Post) who combines “bittersweet lyricism along with ferocious chops” (New York Magazine). Her “impish ferocity”, “rich tone” and “imaginative phrasing” (New York Times) have made her one of the most sought after performers of her time. The desire to create a dynamic energy exchange with her audience and build upon the ensuing chemistry is a pillar of Bathgate's philosophy as a performer. Dynamism drives her to venture into previously uncharted areas of ground-breaking sounds and techniques, breaking the mold of a cello's traditionally perceived voice. Collaborators and fans alike describe her vitality as nothing short of remarkable and magical for all who are involved.
