DANA LYN - in residence Saturdays in November — live event
Composer-violinist Dana Lyn inhabits a musical world somewhere in the Venn diagram of 70’s art rock, classical, traditional Irish and improvised music. She has written music for Brooklyn Rider, Palaver Strings, A Far Cry and the National Orchestra of Washington and performs regularly with Taylor Mac, Stew, Hank Roberts, actor Vincent D'Onofrio and guitarist Kyle Sanna. Dana has performed at Barbès in a variety of contexts, including her group Mother Octopus, the string trio We the Gleaners as well as a monthly residency with guitarist Kyle Sanna. She will be in residence every Saturday in November at Barbès with different guests every week. This week,Nov. 16 - Dana Lyn, Charlie Burnham & Marika Hughes Dana Lyn, Charlie Burnham, and Marika Hughes are all composers, improvisers, and active members of the vibrant Brooklyn music community; most importantly they are long-time friends, and during 2020, they came together as a string trio, bonding over home-cooked meals and gin and tonics. The music endeavors to capture the odd stillness of NYC seen up close, and contrasting it with the phantom memory of the frenetic pace of pre-pandemic life in New York. Violinist and singer Charlie Burnham is legendary for his thick, soulful sound; he has graced albums by James Blood Ulmer, Living Colour, Cassandra Wilson, MTO and Medeski Martin & Wood, among many others. Native New Yorker, cellist, singer and storyteller Marika Hughes “makes a joyful noise at the intersection of classical, jazz and experimental avenues (Mark Corroto, All About Jazz)" and is also the founder and director of Looking Glass Arts.
