We had a great response to the #NameThatCake contest. Thanks to everyone that took part.

In the end, we decided to combine our two favorite suggestions into one. The madness that is the coconut milk cake, red curry caramel, and mango buttercream will henceforth be known as Phuket Bill.  Mad thanks to the winners, Katie Knight (@knightlibrarian) and Brad from Big Boss (@BigBossbeer). You can both claim your prize, your very own Phuket Bill, tonight at Rebus Works.

The Phuket Bill will be available tonight in a beta release at Rebus Works along with an awesome Strawberry cake (gluten free) filled with Strawberries and topped with a strawberry buttercream. Sale starts at 6pm and runs until 10, or until we sell out.

As always, all of Crumbs tasty treats are baked using as many locally sourced ingredients as possible including fresh NC strawberries, flour, dairy, and eggs.

Rebus Works is located at 301-2 Kinsey Street Raleigh, NC  27603

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Music Raleigh to Present Steve Reich’s Different Trains
April 6, 2010 (Raleigh, NC) — On April 27th, New Music Raleigh, a brand new performing arts
group, will return to Meymandi Theater at the Murphey School for a performance of  Pulitzer
Prize winning composer Steve Reich’s Different Trains.  The program will also feature the world
premiere of Lick by Brett William Dietz and Trilogy by Dave Maric.  The concert begins at
7:30pm and tickets will be available at the door for $10.00.
New Music Raleigh is a collective of the area’s most dynamic classical musicians, dedicated to
performing the works of living composers. By presenting this living music in unique venues and
through collaboration with other artists, NMR offers a fresh musical perspective to Raleigh by
providing captiviating yet casual concerts in which the audience and performers are connected.  In
its first year of existence, NMR has proven to be one of Raleigh’s most forward-thinking arts
organizations, performing with indy rock band Lost in the Trees in addition to giving modern
edgy composition a voice in the city. New Music Raleigh’s upcoming projects will feature more
cross-genre collaboration, intimate audience experiences, and exceptional musical performances.
Steve Reich was recently called  “our greatest living composer” (The New York Times),
“America’s greatest living composer.” (The Village VOICE), “…the most original musical thinker
of our time” (The NewYorker) and “…among the great composers of the century” (The New
York Times).. From his early taped speech pieces It’s Gonna Rain (1965) and Come Out (1966)
to his and video artist Beryl Korot’s digital video opera Three Tales (2002), Mr. Reich’s path has
embraced not only aspects of Western Classical music, but the structures, harmonies, and
rhythms of non-Western and American vernacular music, particularly jazz. “There’s just a
handful of living composers who can legitimately claim to have altered the direction of musical
history and Steve Reich is one of them,” states The Guardian (London).
In April 2009 Steve Reich was awarded the Pulitzer prize in Music for his composition ‘Double
Sextet’.
