One of the best-known and most celebrated new music ensembles, Bang on a Can has presented sold-out marathon concerts of experimental music and captured a new public for music. And where other institutions faltered amidst the vagaries of late capitalism, the renegade Bang on a Can survived--and thrived--in a tumultuous but idealistic moment that made new music what it is today. This book tells its story in full.
