TRACY SILVERMAN

Friday 7:00 PM at the Bijou Theatre
Terry Riley Quartet w/ Gyan Riley, Tracy Silverman and Ches Smith

Tracy Silverman has performed and recorded with a virtual “who’s who” of the rock, pop, new music, and jazz fields.  Known both in the concert hall and in clubs, his trademark sound is instantly recognizable.

Pulitzer Prize winning composer John Adams wrote his major new electric violin concerto, “The Dharma at Big Sur” expressly for Tracy, “the closest thing to a genuine collaboration I’ve ever done with a performer”–John Adams

Tracy plays often with Jim Brickman, The Windham Hill Winter Solstice Tour, and internationally with The Terry Riley Vigil Band, Caito Marcondes and in solo concerts and various collaborations.  He will be performing at Big Ears in one of Terry Riley’s groups.

“The greatest living exponent of the electric violin”—BBC Radio
