Oliver Coates was anointed a prodigy in the mid 2000s after notching up preposterous exam scores at London's Royal Academy of Music. He has since shouldered the burden of excellence--embedding in lofty orchestras, accompanying Terry Riley and Steve Reich, scheming with fellow maverick Mica Levi--while hatching plans to vanquish the "Catholic-style guilt" that frightens virtuosos into musical obedience. In this spirit, the cellist occasionally spritzes out some outré dance music to dispel the musty air of academia.
