They recently received a Chamber Music America award to commission a new song cycle by Chicago-based composer, LJ White, and will be releasing their 3rd studio album, Motherland, on New Focus Recordings in Spring 2018.

In 2016, Quince was featured on the KODY Festival Lublin, Poland in collaboration with David Lang and Beth Morrison Projects. They have also appeared on the Outpost Concert Series, the Philip Glass: Music with Friends concert at the Issue Project Room in Brooklyn, Alia Musica, and the SONiC Festival in New York.  During the 2017-18 season, they will collaborate with Third Angle New Music, Philadelphia's Bowerbird, Washington University in St. Louis, MO, Lawrence University, Cornish University, Tigue, Man Forever, and Tenth Intervention.

Comprised of vocalists Liz Pearse (soprano), Kayleigh Butcher (mezzo soprano), Amanda DeBoer Bartlett (soprano), and Carrie Henneman Shaw (soprano), Quince thrives on unique musical challenges and genre-bending contemporary repertoire.


ABOUT LJ

LJ White's music serves ideals of direct, focused and socially relevant expression, assimilating an unrestricted array of influences through unpredictable-yet-contagious rhythms, strange and evocative sonorities, self-evident gestures, and apposite forms.  He has worked with some of the most exciting players in contemporary music, including Alarm Will Sound, Ensemble SIGNAL, Ensemble Dal Niente, the JACK Quartet, the Spektral Quartet, Third Coast Percussion, Volti, and members of the International Contemporary Ensemble, Roomful of Teeth, the Talea Ensemble, and the Bang on a Can All-Stars. 

White’s current and upcoming projects include new works for the La Jolla Symphony Orchestra conducted by Steven Schick, violist Ammie Brod, saxophonist Noa Even in collaboration with video artist Jason Charney, Northwestern University’s Bienen Contemporary and Early Vocal Ensemble conducted by Donald Nally, and the Pushback Duo, comprised of bassoonist Ben-Roidl Ward and soprano Alexandra Smither, as well as a commission from Third Angle Ensemble to create new works based on Elliot Smith’s songs in collaboration with the Sleeping Giant Composers Collective and Hand2Mouth Theatre Company.  He recently completed a 26-minute song cycle for three sopranos and mezzo-soprano with live electronic processing, The Best Place for This, commissioned by the Quince Vocal Ensemble with support from a Chamber Music America grant.  The work, which combines poetry by nine different contemporary poets along the lines of a search for one’s ideal geographic, social, relational, or emotional place, was premiered in Cambridge, MA, in November and will be brought to New York City and St. Louis in the coming months.

White's string quartet Zin zin zin zin was recorded by the Spektral Quartet on their album Chambers, released by Chicago's up-and-coming new record label Parlour Tapes+ in October 2013 to wide critical acclaim.  Zin zin zin zin, which elaborates a fragment from a song by the Roots and considers aural characteristics of group speech and rap, has been called "a tour-de-force of quartet writing" by New Music Box and “a terrific satire on the inflections that give language meaning” by the Washington Post.  The New York Times and Chicago Tribune, respectively, praised the entire album as "a vital primer to a bumper crop of talented young Chicago composers" and "a mind-blowing array of new sonic explorations by Chicago composers, and the Chicago Reader included the album in its column "Our Favorite Music of 2013", commenting, "I'm especially fond of LJ White's Zin zin zin zin."  The Spektral Quartet has performed the piece extensively in concerts across the world, including on the 2015 Ecstatic Music Festival at Merkin Concert Hall, where it was hailed by the New York Times as a "confident miniature, rich in implications,” and on the 2016 Ear Taxi Festival in Chicago, where I Care if You Listen observed, “the music goes off like a firework, a raucous and wonderfully noisy affair.”

White’s recent choral work, Digression on Number 1, 1948, was developed over a yearlong residency with Volti, the renowned new music choir based in San Francisco, and premiered by the group in May 2015.  The piece sets Frank O'Hara's poetry inspired by the titular Jackson Pollock painting, assembling a variegated fabric of sung vocals, speech, whispers, laughter, sighs, and speech-song shapes that derive from Pollock's methods and the painting's contours.  The poem chronicles O’Hara’s experience as a viewer of the painting as a MoMA employee in New York, and White’s setting creates a broader depiction of a struggling O’Hara finding solace in the work of his recently deceased close friend, in addition to encapsulating the transcendent expenditure of energy and material found in the painting itself.  The San Francisco Classical Voice called Digression on Number 1, 1948 “an evocative form of sonic architecture”, the San Francisco Examiner hailed it as “a fascinating approach to ‘art about art’”, and the music blog A Beast In A Jungle stated, “White’s imaginative vocal score features laughter, whispers, asides, and moments that sound like outtakes of hymns, creating a polyphony resembling bubbles rising within water which burst and then disappear once they reach the surface… White’s music is delightful and inventive.”

White’s chamber work Wilder Shores, commissioned by Third Angle Ensemble and premiered in June 2015 at the Bang on a Can Marathon in New York, is a setting of poetry by poets Matthew and Michael Dickman for violin, cello, and two narrators. The piece, following a structure divergent from but inspired by the poem it sets, features a rich succession and interplay of images, which are introduced and brought back, creating an inscrutable sense of familiarity, and chopped up and blended into a progressively finer mix. The work’s musical ideas, as they are stated, recalled, fused, and fragmented, create a collectively fraught, shape-shifting texture. The piece has been praised as “intriguingly swoopy and spiky” by New York Music Daily and "a highly colorful score that seemed to incorporate about every way of getting sound out of a violin and cello anyone has ever imagined” by Oregon Artswatch, whose review stated, "White made the most distinctive musical statement of the night.”

White has won the Craig and Janet Swan Prize, the Margaret Blackburn Composition Competition, an Emil and Ruth Beyer Award from the National Federation of Music Clubs, the Dolce Suono Ensemble Young Composer Competition, the North American Saxophone Alliance Composition Competition, and the American Prize. He has been in residence at the MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, the Atlantic Center for the Arts, the Banff Arts Centre, and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and his work has been featured at a long list of high-profile festivals, including the Bang on a Can Summer Festival, the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, CULTIVATE at Copland House, and the Composers Conference at Wellesley College. White received his doctorate degree from Northwestern University in September and is a professor of music theory and composition at Washington University in St. Louis.

ABOUT TIMEFLIES

Timeflies combines pop style writing with EDM and hip hop influence. Members Rob Resnick (producer) and Cal Shapiro (vocalist) first met while playing in the Ride, a funk band formed at Tufts University. They formed Timeflies in 2010, and a year later their self-released debut album, The Scotch Tape, went top 10 on iTunes. Their weekly YouTube series, Timeflies Tuesday, became a viral sensation and led to hundreds of millions of views. Having released two major label albums, After Hours and Just For Fun, which included the popular singles "I Choose U," "All The Way," "Swoon," and "Monsters ft Katie Sky," Timeflies relocated to Los Angeles in early 2016 and returned to their home studio roots. The move paid off in a big way with the release of their single, "Once In A While," which became a global hit, accruing 275 million Spotify streams to date and earning an official RIAA Gold Record Certification. Timeflies has amassed hundreds of millions of streams on their own independent label Forty8Fifty Music Group, largely in part to the release of the popular singles "Raincoat ft Shy Martin," "Gravity," and, most notably, their latest single, "Little Bit." Timeflies is set to embark on their nationwide headlining Too Much To Dream tour this spring, fresh off the release of their EP, To Dream, which serves as a foil to their previously released EP, Too Much

FOLLOWING AN EXPLOSIVE YEAR

MISSIO Headlines "The Loner Tour" 2018 


SKELETONS PART I IS AVAILABLE NOW

  

"Loaded with bruising bass, icy synths and dark imagery, 

Loner is an exploration of Brue's winding road to sobriety." - Rolling Stone


RCA recording artists MISSIO are excited to be experiencing The Loner Tour. After spending much of this year on the road supporting Nothing But Thieves and Blue October, the celebration of their new album LONER continues into 2018 with headlining dates across North America. A full list of tour dates can be found below. Tickets are on sale now at MISSIO's official website.


SKELETONS PART I, released early October, collects remarkable acoustic versions of songs originally featured on MISSIO's acclaimed full-length debut, LONER, available now at all digital music retailers and streaming services. Highlights include unplugged renditions of "Bottom Of The Deep Blue Sea" and the breakthrough single, "Middle Fingers," alongside an exclusive re-release of "Can I Exist" (originally featured on MISSIO's 2015 debut EP). The latter track is joined by a truly extraordinary companion visual, directed by longtime MISSIO collaborator Jeff Ray. The winner of the "Best Music Video" prize at the 21st Annual Urbanworld Film Festival, presented by REVOLT in partnership with HBO, "Can I Exist" can be viewed now at MISSIO's official YouTube channel.

** LISTEN TO SKELETONS PART I  **

LONER has proven one of the year's most significant debuts, highlighted of course by MISSIO's breakthrough single, "Middle Fingers," available now at all DSPs and streaming services. Released at the top of 2017, "Middle Fingers" quickly blew up at SiriusXM's Alt Nation where it ascended to #1 in the influential "Alt-18 Countdown" before ultimately reaching the top 10 on Billboard's "Alternative Songs" chart as well as the top 20 across Billboard's "Mainstream Rock Songs," "Hot Rock Songs," and "Rock Airplay" charts. "Middle Fingers" is joined an equally popular companion video, now boasting nearly 5 million individual views via YouTube alone.

** WATCH "MIDDLE FINGERS" **

MISSIO will kick off The Loner Tour in Nashville, Tennessee this February making stops in all major cities across North America. Cleveland rock band Welshly Arms and "moody pop" singer-songwriter Morgan Saint will join the duo on select dates.

** Morgan Saint's Biography: **

"Hatred is not in my blood. Euphoria is what I feel in my dreams. Love is what I'm searching for." Those twenty words at the start of Morgan Saint's debut EP, 17 Hero, form a manifesto and a map for the music that follows. Saint's songs chronicle of emotional thrills and crashes, and they challenge preconceptions - notions of how pop can sound, how it works and what it can accomplish. Morgan Saint can turn deeply personal moments into soaring choruses, and transform ear-grabbing hooks into intimate singer- songwriter revelations. Saint calls her music "moody pop," and says her goal is to craft songs match indelible melodies to lyrics that deliver substance. "I want for it to be super catchy and stay in your head, but I also want to tell a story and have people relate in a way that's real and raw," she says. "I don't want to be afraid to say things that might be a little dark or a little questionable." The songs of 17 Hero are defined by luscious melodicism and bracing honesty. "Why don't we be friends?" the chorus of "Just Friends" asks. "Why don't we make out?" Later, over the swelling keyboards and bubbling percussion of "For God's Sake," Saint has different questions: "Should I just move on? Or were we brought together by fate?" It's a cross between the directness of a text message and the disarming privacy of a diary entry. The five songs of 17 Hero track a process of self-discovery, in which Saint herself has become the sort of artist she says she gravitated toward when she was growing up. "During my dark times in high school, I always turned to music," she says. "One thing that helped me a lot was just seeing artists who aren't afraid to be themselves. I've always been a little bit shy. I never feel like it's important to speak unless I have something important to say. And I want at this point to share my stories with the world."
