Red Light New Music + Mario Diaz de Leon

Red Light New Music presents a concert of music by Earle Brown, Bruno Maderna, and premieres by Scott Wollschleger and Vincent Raikhel. The ensemble, started in 2004, presents repertoire of composers that have perhaps been neglected, as well as their own music.

Mario Diaz de Leon (b. 1979 in St. Paul, MN) is a composer and multi-instrumentalist. Praised by the New York Times for their "hallucinatory intensity," his works for classical instruments and electronics have been performed in USA and Europe by ensembles such as ICE, Talea, iO Quartet, JACK Quartet, San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, and Romania's Hyperion Ensemble. He has performed, toured and recorded in many bands as a guitarist, and currently plays guitar in Mirrorgate. He is a member of the Shinkoyo collective, founded in 2002, and has collaborated extensively with Shinkoyo members Severiano Martinez, Zeljko McMullen, and Doron Sadja. He helped run the West Nile performance space in Brooklyn (2006-2010).
