Congratulations to Bang On a Can for 20 years of passionate and vibrant advocacy as movers and shakers in the contemporary music world. Founded by composers Michael Gordon, David Lang, and Julia Wolfe, BOAC and the BOAC All-Stars ensemble have transformed the musical landscape of New York City with its annual Marathons by presenting a wide-range of adventurous music to audiences eager for what’s new and on the cutting edge. Six years ago, BOAC expanded its reach to North Adams, MA, with their summer institute and festival at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. The 20th anniversary brings a BOAC All-Stars tour of several regional marathons which begins in October and returns to New York City in June 2008 for its flagship Marathon at the World Financial Center’s Winter Garden.
