ULTRA WORLD X-TET will present a concert of new works October 21, 2011 at Old First Church in San Francisco. The ensemble’s unusual instrumentation includes 4 Guzhengs (23 string Chinese zither) as well as saxophone, bamboo flute, bass, and percussion. You won't want to miss the X-tet's pioneering mix of music and culture.
The program will be mostly comprised of world premiere pieces. The ensemble's sound draws from Western and Asian traditional and contemporary concert forms, modern jazz, and experimental textures.
