In 1963 composer-performers Philip Corner, Malcolm Goldstein, and James Tenney founded Tone Roads, an ensemble and concert series that took as its starting point American experimentalist masters such as Ives, Ruggles, Cowell, and Varèse, and extended to contemporary figures such as Cage, Feldman, Earle Brown, Messiaen, and Webern, as well as the ensemble’s members.

Following our presentation of EXTRADITION PLAYS CORNER in 2023 and EXTRADITION PLAYS GOLDSTEIN in 2024–25, we will complete our tribute to these three great masters of the American experimental tradition by presenting EXTRADITION PLAYS TENNEY, with concerts in January and February 2026.
