Compositional Rock / Plugged and Unplugged
A double bill performance at Le Poisson Rouge – Monday, Nov 10th , 2008 7-10 pm

Hailed by the London Times as a ‘striking presence’ whose ‘virtuosity was exhilarating,’ Monica Germino's ( http://www.monicagermino.com - http://www.monicagermino.com ) astonishing musicianship explodes conventional limits of the classical violin, showcasing works especially written for her in “Plugged and Unplugged” while Electric Kompany ( http://www.electrickompany.com - http://www.electrickompany.com ) stretches the boundaries of the “rock band” definition, performing complex compositions by leading composers of today in their program entitled “Compositional Rock”.
Join us for this spectacular double bill at NYC’s finest performance venue – Le Poisson Rouge http://www.lepoissonrouge.com - http://www.lepoissonrouge.com
