EFW Presents: Christoph Irniger Trio + Michaël Attias at Howland Cultural Center

Elysium Furnace Works is proud to present as part of an international tour the acclaimed Swiss saxophonist Christoph Irniger and his trio, featuring Raffaele Bossard on double bass, Ziv Ravitz on drums and percussion and also featuring a special guest: alto saxophonist Michaël Attias. Attias — a past member of bands of Paul Motian, Ralph Alessi and Kris Davis amongst others and last heard courtesy EFW as part of James Carney's group which performed in Beacon in January, 2020 — joins the Christoph Irniger Trio as they celebrate their most recent release Open City on the Swiss label Intakt Records. This will be a hybrid livestreamed and in-person event — tickets for the livestream will be $15, tickets purchased in advance for in-person attendance will be $20 and tickets purchased at the door the evening of the performance will be $25. In-person attendees must provide proof of COVID vaccination — a picture of a CDC vaccination card, or various COVID "passports" etc., will be acceptable forms of proof for admission to the HCC.
