George Crumb’s 90th at Sawdust

George Crumb’s 90th at Sawdust

posted on October 29, 2019

George Crumb’s 90th birthday celebration concert took place this evening at National Sawdust in Brooklyn. His 90th birthday — can you believe it?

I was invited to view the premiere of a short documentary, experience the concert, and get introduced to their brand new Meyer Sound Constellation audio system.

Rehearsal for Crumb's "Sun and Shadow"

The concert was a STUNNING success.

(I’ve been asked to mix and master the concert audio for the upcoming archival videos and I’ll update this post with links as soon as they’re available online.)
