TICKETS + INFORMATION

Kamala Sankaram, one of the better (hell, best) composers of vocal music in this City, used some 200 hours of her time as the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Artist in Residence this year to explore the Garden’s vast collection of trees and their caring, and to delve into trees’ cultural significance. The two pieces she’ll be performing (both played each day) are the result. If you aren’t familiar with Sankaram’s work, it fully fits the Alt Classical paradigm of being audience-friendly (in one of the pieces she’ll be accompanied by the guitar player from her Incan surf music band) without being bland or simple-minded (God knows).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Always a great selection at Gold Star Beer Counter.
