30 years ago, three young composers started a journey together, and they called that journey "Bang on a Can." After hundreds of thousands of miles and hundreds of new pieces, records, productions, marathons, and summer festivals, they're still on the road together, still sharing the journey.
To mark this moment, Michael Gordon, David Lang, and Julia Wolfe have together written an evening-long piece that celebrates the freedom and mystery of the open road. Dirt road, country road, two-lane blacktop, the superhighway.
