Felipe Lara / Talea Ensemble / Conrad Tao: Rock Band in New York

About Felipe Lara / Talea Ensemble / Conrad Tao

Felipe Lara, Talea Ensemble, and Conrad Tao appear on New York City stages in programs that move between contemporary concert practice and rock/pop-inflected performance, including dates at National Sawdust. Their work is often heard in curated, cross-genre settings, alongside artists and projects such as Britton & The Sting, Lola Kirke with Odetta, Black Belt Eagle Scout and Mato Wayuhi with Ailani, and Huang Ruo’s *A DUST IN TIME* (NY premiere). The pairing brings composer-performer, ensemble, and pianist-composer perspectives into the same room. The approach favors precision and structure over spectacle.
