Erik Barsness is most comfortable when he has scads of percussion instruments in front of him to play. He is a founding member of Ensemble 61, the Twin Cities newest new music group. (Vladimir Lupovskoy)

Ensemble 61 mixes it up
by Alison Young, Minnesota Public Radio
May 31, 2012
St. Paul, Minn. — This Friday night, Ensemble 61 puts the spotlight on each of their members for a little solo number - and maybe some friendly competition to show us who has cornered the modern-music scene and which instrument best expresses the new in music.
Founding member and percussionist Erik Barsness stopped by to share some recent performances and talk shop on Classical MPR.
It's quite possible that your whole idea of what new music is will be slightly - and forever - altered!
Ensemble 61 at Studio Z in Lowertown, Friday night at 8:00
