TICKETS + INFORMATION

The expert and exploratory TAK Ensemble performs the world live premiere of Taylor Brook’s setting of excerpts from what is perhaps the most highly acclaimed novel in all Sci Fi: Olaf Stapledon’s visionary — perhaps a better word is “crazed” (no, really, it has a deep philosophical basis) — 1930s exploration of, like, the entire universe and its history. The music — which has garnered raves in recorded form (I’ve heard only pieces myself) — promises to be as phantasmagorical as the novel, with extended techniques, electronic enhancements, found sounds, etc.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Not too hot out for great, hearty Central Asian at Farida.
