Concerts

In a city with a dearth of recital halls, we’ve decided to create our own! 45^th Parallel partners with Glowbox and Brad Johnson to create Les Boréades, an immersive visual and sonic performance that challenges the conventions of live performance. Our program features a survey of French music, including works by Rameau, Debussy, Ravel, and Boulez.

Professor Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis will lead a pre-concert q&a at 6:00 PM on how visual context affects how we hear music. Professor Margulis, author of On Repeat: How Music Plays the Mind and The Psychology of Music: A Very Short Introduction, directs the Music Cognition Lab at Princeton University. Her research uses theoretical, behavioral, and neuroimaging methodologies to investigate the dynamic, moment-to-moment experience of listeners without special musical training. She was also trained as a pianist.
