GatherNYC Presents Kittel & Co.

GatherNYC Presents Kittel & Co.

GatherNYC, a revolutionary concert experience founded in 2017 by cellist Laura Metcalf and guitarist Rupert Boyd, continues its 2022-23 season at the series’ home venue at Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) (2 Columbus Circle).

On January 15, 2023, GatherNYC will present Kittel & Co., an ensemble led by GRAMMY-nominated violinist, fiddler, and composer Jeremy Kittel, with mandolin phenom Josh Pinkham (named “the future of the mandolin” by Mandolin Magazine), genre-bending guitarist Quinn Bachand (a presidential scholar at Berklee College of Music), transcendent bassist Ethan Jodziewicz (as heard with Sierra Hull), and hammer-dulcimer wizard Simon Chrisman (acclaimed for bringing a new tonal flexibility to the instrument).

The expanded GatherNYC season now runs through May 28, 2023, with concerts held on Sundays at 11am in The Theater at MAD, which is fully restored to its original mid-century design. Doors are at 10:30am, with complimentary coffee and pastries.

Guests at GatherNYC are served exquisite live classical music by New York’s most celebrated artists, a taste of the spoken word, and a brief celebration of silence. The entire experience lasts one hour and evokes the community and spiritual nourishment of a religious service – but the religion is music, and all are welcome.

Previously of the Turtle Island Quartet, GRAMMY-nominated violinist, fiddler, and composer Jeremy Kittel demonstrated similar scope as a composer-arranger-collaborator for such diverse artists as My Morning Jacket, Yo-Yo Ma & the Silk Road Ensemble, and Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn. But for the last few years, the Brooklyn-based artist has been diligently building his own repertoire of music for a wholly original new group.

“We met gradually over the years, through festivals, shows, and gatherings,” Kittel says. “Each really struck me with their uniqueness, for being a singular force on their instrument.”

Kittel & Co. is an ensemble at the intersection of classical and acoustic roots, celtic and bluegrass aesthetics, folk and jazz.
