Music Composer Matan Rubinstein and Sada Trio

The Amherst College Department of Music presents a concert by the SADA Trio, led by and featuring the music of Marlboro College professor and composer Matan Rubinstein on Thursday, Oct. 30 at 4 p.m. in room 3 of the Arms Music Center at Amherst College. The performance is free of charge and open to the public. The SADA Trio features Rubinstein on piano and laptop computer, Wes Brown on bass, and Bob Weiner on percussion. An ensemble of varying sizes and instrumentation, the SADA project is a body of compositions written by Rubinstein as roadmaps and frameworks for improvisers in a small group setting.
Matan Rubinstein is a composer, pianist and electronic musician, making music in a variety of contexts and venues from works for orchestra and chamber groups (with and without electronics), to jazz orchestras and combos, as well as projects for dance, film, television and interactive media. Among his notable credits as bandleader are the Modular Music Ensemble, a nine-piece genre-bending group, and Sada, for a small group of improvisers, both dedicated to performing his original compositions. Originally from Israel, Rubinstein has lived and worked in Brooklyn, NY and Madison, WI, where he received a doctoral degree in music composition from the University of Wisconsin. He now lives with his wife and three daughters in the Pioneer Valley. Rubinstein is a music faculty member at Marlboro College. His music is on the web at: http://modularmusicensemble.bandcamp.com.
