Unfiltered Music III Night Two
“Ringdown’s music is like calling your first love on a rotary telephone, percussively tearing out the hammers from a 1924 vintage upright, and flinging each of them into space while you wait for every heartache you’ve ever felt to quietly return.” This is how the music of Ringdown sounds.
In their description of Ringdown, collaborators Caroline Shaw and Danni Lee Parpan, who have won a Pulitzer Prize, a number of Grammys, and a “Best Drum Major” Award between them, define the band as an electronic cinematic pop duet hailing from Portland, Oregon.

Unfiltered Music III Night Three
The Overlook is back at Fotografiska with the peaceful and exuberant work Seven Limbs by Douglas J. Cuomo, which is composed for string quartet and improvisational saxophone and features the great Joe Lovano, who has won a Grammy.
The Seven Limbs, an ancient Tibetan Buddhist meditation technique, served as the source of inspiration for this piece of work. Seven Limbs is a means of cleaning the mind, allowing it to become more patient, serene, loving, and compassionate. When combined with the joyful music of Cuomo, Seven Limbs puts concertgoers closer to a spiritual ideal.

Unfiltered Music III Night Four
Rhythm Nation is the follow-up to PUBLIQuartet’s What Is American project, which was nominated for a Grammy®. The project honours American rhythmic traditions as manifestations of bodily sovereignty and implicit history keeping.
Performances of four fresh new pieces by Jlin, Mazz Swift, Eddie Venegas, and Jeff Scott, all of whom were commissioned with the support of a 2024 Chamber Music America Artistic Projects grant, will be included in the program. Jlin is a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
Every single one of these compositions conjures up a different rhythmic world, which reflects the diversity of American movements and safeguards the unspoken spirit of their lineage’s narratives.
