Interpretations: Miguel Frasconi + Tom Hamilton + Matthew Ostrowski, with guest Meaghan Burke // Mari Kimura
About This Event
At Roulette, Interpretations pairs Miguel Frasconi, Tom Hamilton and Matthew Ostrowski with guest Meaghan Burke, with an additional appearance by Mari Kimura. Frasconi’s work moves between improvisation, electronics and custom instruments that foreground timbre; Hamilton’s set draws on guitar-based songcraft and electronic texture; Burke is a New York–based classical musician attentive to ensemble listening, and Kimura explores violin subharmonics.
About Graze The Bell
“Graze The Bell” arrives at Roulette as a live classical set shaped by New York’s present tense. Featured performers include MIXOLOGY, Michael Foster with Strings, David Moore, Emilio Modeste, and Raphael Rogiński playing John Coltrane, tracing a line between concert tradition and downtown experimentation. No specific NYC premiere history is publicly fixed, but the context matters: Roulette has long functioned as a lab for new work and cross-genre practice. The program treats “classical” less as a category than as a method, testing how interpretation and authorship shift from player to player.
