TICKETS + INFORMATION

Two nights of performances by duos. Among the music on offer is String Noise (violin-violin) (Thurs.) doing a brand new piece by the involvingly dour Michael Hersch that’s uncharacteristically brief, as well as other stuff including their patented Noise Rock covers; Duo Kayo (viola/cello) (Thurs.), who are new to me but whose program enticingly includes Paul Wiancko, Caroline Shaw, Astor Piazolla, and Édith Piaf; the great classical noise duo Popebama (sax-electronics) (Fri.); and festival organizers Miolina (violin-violin) (Fri.), whose offerings include something by the luminous Alvin Singleton.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: The so-called Shaker food at The Commerce Inn is divisive: some people consider it stodgy, crude, bland, and heavy; whereas others find it deeply, elementally satisfying. If you know me at all, you know where I stand.
