October 5th thru 8th, the Tri-Centric Foundation presents a 4-day festival "Energies, Ideas, Intuitions: The Tri-Centric Music of Anthony Braxton" at Roulette's new venue

This is the most comprehensive portrait of Anthony Braxton ever presented in the United States, with Braxton himself performing or conducting every night, leading a total of 60+ musicians. There will be world and U.S. premieres every evening.

Prior to the event, we have released a FREE special sampler CD of Braxton's works, spanning over 3 decades, which includes an excerpt of his first ever studio recorded opera Trillium E (Trillium E will be released in its entirety on October 11th 2011 as a 4-CD box set). The free sampler is available here

This sampler CD is highly recommended for everyone, from those who were always curious about Braxton's music and didn't know where to start to collaborators who want to know a bit more about Anthony Braxton's past and present.
