Ali Baba & the 40 Thieves Electronic Music Event

On May 5th at Rockwood Music Hall, the 'CompCord @ 40' festival concludes with an electronic music event tilted: 'Ali Baba & the 40 Thieves'. Taking on this Arabic folk-tale, that uses the number 40 in its titled, CompCord challenged composers to make electronic music inspired by the story.

The program will consist of 17 electronic or electroacoustic music compositions by an eclectic array of composers. Featured compositions include 'Sesame Mucho' by Lynn Bechtold, 'Crossing Forty' by Stefania de Kenessey, Gene Pritsker's 'Ali Baba & The 40 Thieves Haikus' based on Haikus by 8 living poets, and Composers Concordance founder Joseph Pehrson's 'Bleepy'

All four festival concerts will also be live-streamed on Composers Concordance's Facebook Page. Celebrating the Big Apple’s most eclectic new music series with a myriad of brazen new compositions, The ‘CompCord @ 40’ festival is not to be missed!
