Nik Bärtsch's Ronin w/special guest Sumie Kaneko

Saturday, October 4th at 8pm

Thomas Tull Concert Hall, MIT Linde Music Building

201 Amherst Street, Cambridge MA 02139


This event is in-person only and will not be live-streamed.

Swiss pianist-composer Nik Bärtsch has been creating ‘zen-funk,' fusing electronica and minimalism with soul, jazz, funk, and new classical music with his Ronin ensemble since 2001. “Our music is somewhere between jazz and modern composition, progressive pop, ritual music, groove music in general,” says Bärtsch. The concert will feature the world premiere of a Bärtsch’s new duo for himself and koto/shamisen master Sumie Kaneko, along with selections from Ronin’s latest album Spin.


Personnel:

Nik Bartsch, piano

Kaspar Rast, drums

Jeremias Keller, bass

Sha, bass clarinet

Sumie Kaneko, koto & shamisen
