Songs from the Observatory

7:30pm, Saturday, Nov. 14 @ Leaven Community Center in Portland, Oregon

Our season opener features Eugene-based nonesuch.reedquintet performing a concert inspired by the sciences of ecology and evolution, astronomy, mathematics, medicine, cultural anthropology, and a contemplation of the nexus of electrical and political power. Astronomical contemplation inspired works by Sy Brandon, Mary Fineman, Alon Nechushtan and Lana White; the other diverse fields inspired Betty Booher, I’lana Cotton, Brian Magill, Paul Safar and Nicholas Yandell. None literally include voice, but you may go away singing yourself, your heart touched by emotions as various as joy, rage, love, sorrow and glee.

Come hear nonesuch.reedquintet in a scientific rhapsody!
