"Angels exist, I swear! If you were at the sold out Austra show on Monday, you would have witnessed Portland-born, Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist Colin Self descending from the heavens to bless us mere mortals with their angelic vocals and cherub-like presence. If you're looking for something to believe in, believe in music-it's one of the very few things with ability to unite complete strangers in dialog, movement, and tears."
"For fans of Laurel Halo, Anika, Broadcast This show is sold out, but, if you can snag a ticket, hear Le Bon's music that arts and culture writer Lindsay Costello is calling, "surreal soundscapes with a neo-psychedelic, arty sensibility," and what Pulitzer Prize-winning ProPublica research reporter Alex Mierjeski describes as, "Cate Labubu." (Revolution Hall, 8 pm, more info here, all ages)"
"The soft intensity of Steve Reich's dizzying mallet work on his celebrated Counterpoints has that beguiling power to either fully energize you, or can act as a mother's whisper cooing you to sleep. The repetitious staccato of Counterpoints' four iterations- Cello, Electric, New York, and Vermont-backdropped by the intricate light works of Hopscotch is a delicious treat for both eyes and ears. (Hopscotch, timed entry 6-9 pm, more info here, all ages)"
