As we start the new year, 2021, probably the last thing you want is something from the old one. But Bang On A Can, the upstart contemporary music organization that has been doing annual marathon concerts in New York since 1987, has been offering free streams of its four online marathon concerts done during the pandemic (May 3, June 14, Aug. 16, and Oct. 18.) Jan. 1, 2021, is the last day you can see and hear them. Together they offer dozens of world premieres and recent works representing composers from around the world. Among them, New York composer Missy Mazzoli, and her "Vespers For Violin."  

Olivia Da Prato performs "Vespers for Violin," by Missy Mazzoli, which is just one of the dozens of works available to stream through Jan. 1 from the Bang On a Can marathon online concert series.
