This first installment of the Ecstatic Music Festival Marathon spotlights Q2 regulars Ne(x)tworks, Timo Andres, So Percussion and the Chiara String Quartet. Also featured is the resident teen ensemble at the Kaufman Center, Face the Music, an inspirational story of combining classical music education and contemporary music performance. Notably, on January 30, Face the Music and New Music mainstays Alarm Will Sound performed Steve Reich's exhilarating work Tehillim.

The singer in "Stay On It" is horrible and incredibly distracting. Ruins the piece. The definitive recording on the album "Unjust Malaise" is much better.
