A new work, “Distracted Wanderings” for flute and drums by Gilbert Galindo will be premiered by the Caballito Negro duo on a Composers Concordance concert along with works by fellow composers.

On Saturday, March 23rd at 6pm at The Delancey, Composers Concordance presents the flute and percussion duo Caballito Negro. It's a celebration of chamber groove, with one of the most ancient and compelling combinations of instrumental sounds and techniques, including electronics, wild bird calls and poetry. Featured compositions include Tessa Brinckman's 'A Cracticus Fancie', Gene Pritsker's 'Astute', Terry Longshore and mackxswell's 'Trap Hat', and Samuel Torres' 'Quando hablan los arboles', plus music by Randall Woolf, Dan Cooper, Gilbert Galindo, and Will Rowe.

Bi-coastal duo Caballito Negro is known for its creative and compelling performances, generating an ecstatic blend of modern and traditional aesthetics. Multi-flutist Tessa Brinckman and multi-percussionist Terry Longshore draw their name (“dark little horse”) from Federico García Lorca’s poem, 'Canción de Jinete'. They collaborate with visionary artists, using an arsenal of instruments to push the artistic experience to new heights, and always in the spirit of duende. Heralded for their “wildly personal, intercultural, modern music…vivid, expressive music that could be performed anywhere” (-Oregon Arts Watch), the duo melds narratives, images, and themes in imaginative curations. Caballito Negro envisions true cultural exchange through innovative projects with local, regional, and international artists.
