SARAH BERNSTEIN SOLO CONCERTS “It's not mere music, or even mere noise but rather, edgy, offbeat performance art.” – Something Else! Info: http://sarahbernstein.com Email: [email protected] Photo: Peter Gannushkin Composer/improviser/poet Sarah Bernstein performs SOLO. Her singular musical language melds violin and voice with electronic noise and unsettled soundscapes, steeped in minimalist motif, avant-jazz formation, arresting vocals and occasional text. Sarah Bernstein is a violinist, composer, improviser, vocalist and poet based in NYC. She leads projects ranging from minimalist/experimental duo Unearthish with Satoshi Takeishi, to avant-jazz Sarah Bernstein Quartet with Kris Davis, Stuart Popejoy and Ches Smith, to noise/poetry band Iron Dog with Stuart Popejoy and Andrew Drury, to improvising strings Frikativ Quartet. In 2015, she was nominated “Rising Star Violin” in the 63rd Annual DownBeat critics poll. Recent and upcoming performances are with Anthony Braxton, Adam Rudolph, Hans Tammen, Kid Millions, Steve Swell, Taylor Ho Bynum, Scott Tixier, Mat Maneri, Emilie Lesbros, and Ron Anderson. Originally from San Francisco, Sarah has lived in Brooklyn since 1996. She holds a BFA in Violin Performance from CalArts and an MA in Jazz Studies from CUNY Queens College. "Bernstein maintained an often alluring calm even at times when the music grew agitated." Lucid Culture "It's a futuristic, heavily distorted and hypnotic vision of rock music." (Free) Jazz Alchemist "Sarah Bernstein has created compositions that are post-Beat holistic works of art." NYC Jazz Record "Some of the most exciting and accessible abstract music you'll find."
