Brilliant musicians and composers inhabit the MASS MoCA campus from July 13-30 for three rollicking weeks of innovative, unexpected, and ear-expanding music.
The annual festival includes daily performances in the museum galleries (free with museum admission), a concert with the Bang on a Can All-Stars, and concludes with a six-hour blow-out Marathon Concert performed by the festival ensembles and special guests. The festival also features African and Latin music workshops, late-night concerts, free events in North Adams, and more. This year features special festival guest composer John Luther Adams.
The best way to Bang is with a MASS MoCA membership, which offers free gallery admission and $5 concert tickets.
