Brent Arnold to play solo cello

DENMARK — Join the Denmark Arts Center on Saturday, September 1 at 7:30 p.m. for a concert with Artist-in-Residence Brent Arnold. Arnold will play recent cello compositions and older work. Classically trained by Walter Gray, Arnold's abnormal approach delights his audience with electronics, looping tracks and original composition.

The acoustic backdrop of the DAC's main hall present a perfect setting for this solo performance. Sponsored in part by the Simmons Foundation, enjoy this impromptu performance to help the DAC celebrate one of its most vibrant and exciting summers yet. Seating is cabaret and the event is BYOB.

Brent Arnold will be in residence for two more weeks. This concert is free; however, a $10 donation is suggested.

Brent Arnold is a cellist and composer with a wildly unorthodox approach, using amplification, guitar-like fingerpicking, electronics, and techniques from Arabic and African music to create his intricate and moving songs. He has worked with Reggie Watts, Eyvind Kang, DJ/Rupture, Modest Mouse, Wayne Horvitz, Death in Vegas, and Filastine.

He composed the cello music for Louis C.K. And FX channel's show “Louie” and numerous films and shorts. Brent studied the cello with Walter Gray of the Kronos Quartet and legendary jazz violinist Michael White. He resides in Brooklyn, NY.
