Armory Center for the Arts

wild Up is a 24-member experimental classical/contemporary ensemble comprised of Los Angeles musicians committed to creating visceral, thought-provoking happenings. The group unites around the belief that no music is off limits, and that a concert space should be as moving as the music heard in it: small, powerful and unlike anything else.

Their projects are meant to bring people together, defy convention and address the need for heart-wrenching, mind-bending experiences.

wild Up presents: The Armory
There's a place that exists. It used to hold munitions, but now children play in it all day making art. One of our main goals in performance is to be inspired by the space we're performing in — this program is about the Armory itself.

It's about, people, art, war and peace.

Featuring the music of:

• Palestrina
• Slkayer
• Meshuggah
• Folk songs inspired by James Taylor and Peter, Paul & Mary
• Andrew Tholl's bombastic still not a place to build monuments or cathedrals
• World premiers about war and peace by Andrew McIntosh, Joshua Bornfield and Chris Kallmyer
• A staged performance of Stravinsky's Soldier's Tale

Pre-sale tickets are $15 online at Eventbrite ($20 at the door)
