ANTHONY BRAXTON

FORT GREENE PARK - BROOKLYN / MAY 3

Anthony Braxton, the trailblazing composer and multi-instrumentalist, brings his avant-garde brilliance to Fort Greene Park with a performance of **Composition No. 19**, a processional work for 100 tubas. Known for redefining the boundaries of sound and improvisation, Anthony’s decades-long career includes groundbreaking contributions to jazz and experimental music, as well as innovative performance systems. Raised on Chicago’s South Side, he was a foundational member of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. While Braxton is best known for his saxophone mastery, particularly on alto, this free outdoor event highlights his visionary approach to large-scale compositions and unorthodox instrumentation. **Composition No. 19**, originally conceived in the early 1970s, is a celebration of sonic textures on an epic scale. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience Braxton’s forward-thinking artistry in a dynamic, open-air setting. CLR
