On July 24 at 8pm, the Charlotte New Music Festival and loadbang will be presenting ‘such is now the necessity,’ a video of new works for the ensemble with introductions from members of the ensemble as well as composers of the pieces. Featuring music for loadbang by George Lewis, Cristina Lord, and Alex Mincek, as well as works for loadbang and string orchestra by Paula Matthusen and Heather Stebbins, this presentation takes advantage of this unique opportunity to share some works from their repertoire that would not normally be possible to present to a live audience at a loadbang concert in Charlotte.
