thingNY is proud to present the three-show premiere tour of You Must Read a Lot of Jung, a brand new work written for the ensemble by member Dave Ruder, scored for voice, violin, clarinet, tenor sax, cello, and cymbal. Slow and spacious, Jung works over themes and ideas from previous thingNY pieces written by members of the group. Performances will take place in Hamden, CT, Queens, NY, and Philadelphia, PA on May 3-5, 2019.

At the New York stop on the tour, the ensemble is also very excited to premiere a new duo co-written and performed by members Gelsey Bell and Erin Rogers, SKYLIGHGHT  for voice and saxophone. The piece is written to be performed in resonant spaces, and explores the acoustic properties of such spaces and of the voice and saxophone themselves.

Created by Jeffrey Young and Paul Pinto, Patriots is a political music-satire framed as a town hall debate featuring poetic grandstanding, singing, wild instrumental virtuosity, improvisation and questions from the audience, reflecting today's shitty (by which we mean" diverse") discourse surrounding issues of immigration and national identity. thingny.com/patriots
