WFUV presents San Fermin with Metropolis Ensemble

Metropolis Ensemble brass and string performers join forces with San Fermin, the eight-piece baroque pop band and the brain-child of the multi-faceted composer Ellis Ludvig-Leone, to create an expanded orchestral version of the new album.

Celebrate San Fermin's worldwide sophomore album debut, Jackrabbit, "an hourlong feast of gorgeous chamber-pop storytelling" (NPR), releasing on Downtown Records in April 2015. Buy the album

Fittingly, Jackrabbit is filled with moments in which each member of the band is prominently featured: John Brandon (trumpet), Stephen Chen (saxophone), Rebekah Durham (violin/vocals), Michael Hanf (drums), Charlene Kaye (lead vocals), Tyler McDiarmid (guitar), and Allen Tate (lead vocals). The two discrete characters born by the debut album have been replaced by multiple personalities, treading new and difficult terrain.

This evolution is at the heart of Jackrabbit, a powerful record where moments beautiful, brutal and a bit of both produce songs that don’t know how to let you out of their clutches or console you with easy answers. At once lived-in and sophisticated, Jackrabbit feels a lot like real life—charmed, challenging, and wonderfully compulsory.

Music Hall of Williamsburg, located in the heart of the Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn, is part of The Bowery Presents family of venues across New York City. More about the venue
