About the Artist
Anton Kot is a local young musician who grew up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY. With the bi-lingual band Louie Miranda and Subanda, he performed with world class musicians starting as a four-year-old djembe player. While sometimes before crowds of thousands at the Philadelphia Please Touch Museum Countdowns, the NYC Tribeca Family Film Festivals, and the American Museum of Natural History annual October events, the group also presented to smaller audiences at the NYC Harvard Club, the New York Botanical Gardens, the Jewish Museum, Children’s Museum in Manhattan, the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, the Living Room, and in other festivals and venues in the tri-state area.
Anton’s performance on piano, drums and/or gamelan instruments include sets at the New Haven International Festival of Arts and Ideas, the Litchfield Jazz Festival, Newport Jazz Festival with the Berklee Global Jazz Institute, and the International Gamelan Festival in Solo, Indonesia. One of many memorable experiences includes improvising on piano at the Provincetown Playhouse in Greenwich Village with soprano, alto, and tenor saxophonist Billy Drewes, of the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, who led with his composition Big Ben.
Anton is a recent graduate of the NHSO’s Young Composer Project.
