Please join Ars Nova Workshop for this special double-header featuring two of Philadelphia's quickly rising stars.

Walter founded the The Flying Luttenbachers in Chicago in 1991 with late jazz cult figure Hal Russell. Over the years, the band has included noted Chicago musicians such as Ken Vandermark and Fred Lonberg-Holm, as well as Deerhoof's Ed Rodriguez and guitar phenomenon Mick Barr (Orthrelm). In addition, Walter has worked with Marshall Allen, Henry Kaiser and Jim O'Rourke.
