Slipstream will perform in Sheslow Auditorium at Drake University on March 21 at 7:30 p.m. as part of a six-stop Midwest tour in support of the release of its debut EP, Northland. All ages welcome, no cover charge. Slipstream is a contemporary chamber group based in Appleton, Wisconsin.

Inspired by Louis Andriessen’s “Hout,” Slipstream is dedicated to expanding the possibilities of its unique instrumentation (saxophone, guitar, piano, and percussion) through commissioning, collaboration, and improvisation. Since the fall of 2014, Slipstream has collaborated with more than ten composers, including award-winning composers John Mayrose and David Werfelmann, to create more than a dozen new works for the ensemble. Recently, Slipstream was invited by eighth blackbird to participate in open master classes at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art as part of the Grammy award-winning ensemble’s residency at the museum.
