"Dawn" Album Release

Grand Electric is a new duo project that explores the sonic possibilities of the electric guitar and grand piano. The duo was created out of the desire to expand the boundaries of chamber music by fusing acoustic and electric worlds, and the desire to explore expressive counterpoint, concrete physicality, and sonic mass in this new genre.

Their new album Dawn was composed as an inception, an initiation into original musical realms. Dawn is scheduled for release in October 2024 on Bright Shiny Things. Electric guitarist Mark Dancigers has composed works for the New York City Ballet, yMusic, and is a founding member of NOW Ensemble. He has worked with composers including Missy Mazzoli and Judd Greenstein, and performed the Grammy Award winning Roomful of Teeth, clarinetist David Krakauer, and indie rock band San Fermin.

Aaron Wunsch is an accomplished pianist who teaches at Juilliard and directs the free Music Mondays series in NYC and the Skaneateles Festival in the Finger Lakes. He has worked with composers Thomas Adès, Nico Muhly, and Kaija Saariaho, and performed with cellist Lynn Harrell, clarinetists Charles Neidich and Anthony McGill, violinists Miranda Cuckson and Jennifer Koh, and the Miró and Parker Quartets.
