Hi friends -- Just a quick update. The festival is fast approaching! Tickets for Saturday night with Grizzly Bear and Andrew Bird are nearly gone.

Bryce Dessner has decided to bring in a slew of musicians to recreate the piece he is premiering this week at the Kitchen in NYC (those shows are sold out!). (Wednesday night's event at the Contemporary Arts Center)

Other special guests include Richard Reed Parry (Bell Orchestre and Arcade Fire), Thomas Bartlett (played piano on Boxer), Nico Muhly, and more! (including Aaron Dessner and Padma).

Also, not to be missed, Friday night Bang on a Can All-Stars with special guests Glenn Kotche and Bryce Dessner.

Hope some of you can make it!
