Concert Black formed in Brooklyn in 2011 after bonding over the music of George Crumb and Riskay at the ever unconventional Bang on a Can organization’s summer institute at MassMoCA. While all the members boast acute classical over-training, Domenica Fossati (flute) is steeped in the NYC Afrobeat scene, Lisa Dowling (bass) is also known as DJ Lil Miss Dolemite, and Owen weaver (drums) fronts as an electro-acoustic percussion soloist and former thrasher. Together they draw upon their diverse musical backgrounds for their song writing, improvisation, and commissioning of today’s emerging composers.
