Featuring special guest MC Rabbi Darkside.

Cellist/Trombonist/Composer Dana Leong fuses hip-hop, jazz and digital music to create a signature infinite sound. Often referred to as a "hi-def Yo-Yo Ma," Dana has revolutionized the cello with his cutting edge amplification, lyrical melodies, and collage of jazz textures and improvisations.
As an official Yamaha sponsored artist ambassador, Dana's pioneering fusion of digital music and ethereal jazz sensualities has garnered critical acclaim and wowed audiences worldwide.
In this autobiographical lecture and performance, MOCA’s new Composer-in-Residence Dana Leong explores the ties between the different worlds of recording, performing, touring, and producing music in multiple genres, balance between business and art, and his recipe for success. Dana will also discuss the inner-workings of his life as a successful independent musician living and working in New York.
