The 49ers

Found­ed in 2024, The 49ers are a unique gui­tar duo with Anders Nils­son and Ty Citer­man. The group per­forms orig­i­nal com­po­si­tions and impro­vi­sa­tions as well as arrange­ments of ear­ly 20th cen­tu­ry mod­ernist com­posers such as Arnold Schoen­berg, Béla Bar­tok and Dmitri Shostakovich.

Their arrange­ments of Schoen­berg’s “Sechs Kleine Klavier­stücke (Six Lit­tle Piano Pieces)” op. 19 (1913) can be heard HERE.

They have per­formed across New York City and will release their forth­com­ing album of Schoen­berg’s ground­break­ing “Drei Klavier­stücke (Three Piano Pieces)” op. 11 (1909) lat­er in 2026. Stay tuned — the com­pos­er is arguably rolling over in his grave!
