The Interpretations Series 36th season begins Thursday October 23, 2025, 8:00 PM with a split bill featuring composer and multi-woodwind player JD Parran’s Protestation and Prayer for Peace and Survival, and the collaborative trio One System. Parran will be joined by musicians Nels Cline (guitar), Andrew Drury (drums, percussion) and Hilliard Greene (bass) for an act of musical activism, about which he writes: “Creativity can speak to forces that usurp our resources and freedoms. We may be the only voices that CAN be heard now. Never fear that it won’t count. Say it Loud.” Featuring Juraj Kojs (electronics), Margaret Lancaster (flutes), and Alex Lough (electronics), One System is a geographically dispersed performance collective of self-described artphibians. Their work seeks to dissolve the boundaries between language, physicality, technology, theater, and sound, creating performances that are simultaneously intimate and spectacular.

The concert will take place at Roulette, 509 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn, NY. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for students & seniors, available at Roulette.org and Interpretations.info.
