Station 4 is an electro-acoustic Chicago ensemble employing texts and vocals, music and dance, to create a multi-sensory experience for its audience. Station 4 wraps its uniquely structured electro-acoustic improvisations around the spoken-word performance art of poet Kao Ra Zen. “Urban Voices: Listening to the Unheard” is a multi-movement work which interprets excerpts from literary works of Chicago authors highlighting everyday realities as experienced by members of underrepresented Chicago demographic groups.

Featuring:
Kao Ra Zen - spoken word
Mark Nagy - tenor and soprano saxophone
Steve Doyle - guitar
Andrew Scott Young - bass
Neil Jendon - modular synthesizer
