You missed loadbang's livestream of 'Premieres: Vol. 14' too? Hear some pieces from that one:
13 years ago at the Manhattan School of Music, Will and Andy (loadbang's trombonist and trumpeter) started 'Will and Andy's Power Concerts.' Like a power nap, they were 20 minutes and were essentially a salon series for our community and fellow students to try new things. loadbang's Power Chats take the condensed format of the Power Concerts to live interviews with some of our favorite composers! We've been fortunate thus far to have spoken to Mark Applebaum, Eve Beglarian, Chaya Czernowin, Reiko Füting, Evan Johnson, Hannah Lash, George Lewis, Lei Liang, Paula Matthusen, Angélica Negrón, Paul Pinto, Heather Stebbins, Christian Wolff, and Scott Wollschleger. They appear on YouTube Live and then have a permanent home at loadbang's YouTube page. Enjoy!
