Peter Stopschinski and Graham Reynolds formed The Golden Hornet Project in 1999 aiming to bring the work of their own compositions and others into settings “bridging the nightclub and the concert hall, the academy and the underground.” Since their formation, the duo have put on one hundred events, including a “Classical Hoot Night” at Beerland and five percussion ensemble concerts.
And they’ve only just begun. This Saturday night, The Golden Hornet Project will hold its sixth percussion ensemble at the Salvage Vanguard while they also announce the metamorphosis of their organization into a fully-fledged non-profit. With a new board of directors including Tim League, owner of the Alamo Drafthouse, Austin Museum of Art director Dana Friis-Hansen and Graham Williams of Transmission Entertainment, the organization will present their mission, plans for the future, and explain how to get involved.
Everyone is invited, and the cover charge is on a sliding scale from ten to thirty dollars. Come out to see the drumming, and stay to learn the future of the Project and how you can be a part of it.
