ABOUT THE ARTIST: Composer, multi-instrumentalist, poet, and painter Oliver Lake is renowned for his inimitable vision and versatility as an artist. Lake has embraced a diverse array of musical styles and disciplines throughout his long and highly acclaimed career. Whether composing commissioned works for Pro Musica Chamber Orchestra and the Brooklyn Philharmonic; creating chamber pieces for Arditti and Flux String Quartets; arranging for Bjork, Lou Reed and A Tribe Called Quest; collaborating with poets Amiri Baraka and Ntozake Shange; sharing the stage with Mos Def and Me'shell Ndegeocello; or leading his own Steel Quartet, Big Band and cooperative ensembles the World Saxophone Quartet and Trio 3; Lake views it all as parts of the same whole. In his own words, “It’s all about choices.”
