New Music. New Jazz. Discovered by John Zorn.

John Zorn’s The Stone Commissioning Series celebrates Zorn’s revolutionary venue, The Stone, a non-profit venue that was “dedicated to the experimental and avant-garde,” and served as a vital spot for new-music in Manhattan’s Alphabet City for over a decade. Held on the last Wednesday of every month, National Sawdust honors the spirit of the Stone, hosting the world premiere new work every month.

For March, Zorn presents theremin maven Pamelia Stickney, whose playing has been described as “haunting” by People’s World. Performing on this unique instrument, Stickney will debut a world premiere on theremin, and fill out the program with a few surprises that showcase the best features of the chameleonic instrument.
