Description:
The Blacksburg Farmers Market presents wild Up performing at the Farmers Market on Wednesday, September 18, 2019 at Market Square Park.

Select musicians from the L.A.-based modern music collective wild Up will treat us to a free performance during the Wednesday Blacksburg Farmers Market.

wild Up is the ultimately flexible, go anywhere, play anything modern music collective led by Christopher Rountree, artistic director and conductor. An experimental classical ensemble and a flexible band of Los Angeles musicians, Wild Up is committed to creating visceral, thought-provoking happenings and 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. The group’s projects are meant to bring people together, defy convention, and address the need for heart-wrenching, mind-bending experiences.

Their programs reflect the emerging cultural leadership of a generation. Lines are blurred, rules are broken, concerts become events, and events become enduring memories. In a single engagement, Wild Up creates a theatrical and musical context where the greatest musicians on the scene today become an orchestra that celebrates tradition while reshaping it. In a single evening the audience may celebrate Erick Satie, Ted Hearne, John Lennon, Alexander Scriabin, Chris Cerrone, the Velvet Underground, Steve Reich, Andrew McIntosh, Jen Hill, Nina C. Young, and on and on and on.
