    Epic performances in unexpected spaces.

    Of all of the classical instruments, the cello seems to loom largest in the public imagination. Maybe it's because of Yo-Yo Ma, maybe it's because of the Game of Thrones theme, maybe it's because you have to sit down while you're playing it and everybody just wants to take a load off. Whatever the reason, we're here to meet the demand with supply -- and that's why for our next LA Massivemuse, we're bringing along Splntrd Wood -- a brilliant new ensemble built of three cellos and three great cellists to play them.

    These cellos don't just sing -- their bodies are played like drums, their tails are whacked like cowbells, and they show just how much can be done when you bring irrepressible new energy to a centuries-old instrument.

    Splntrd Wood has put together a program of their own radical arrangements featuring music from around the world: Piazzolla, Jobim, Bernstein, Ginastera, Quincy Jones and more.

    If that's not enough: For the second half of the performance the three cellos are joined by another instrument, and it too is a cello. That makes four cellos.

    And it's all going down at redCola Studios, a badass Venice-based sound-design studio that's opening its doors to us once again for its second Massivemuse. redCola's sister company, Short Story Collective, a music publishing house, will be cohost for the evening.

    It's BYOB and bring-your-own-floor-blanket-or-seat-cushion, because we get cozy like that.

    Splntrd Wood presents their latest program, Canções das Américas, celebrating the music of Latin America. Inspired by member Ian Gottlieb’s recent Fulbright fellowship to São Paulo, Brazil, the program features samba, bossa, forró, choro, tango and music from across the American continent.
