Description
Percussionist Jeff Stern and pianist Natalia Kazaryan present an immersive program blending acoustic and electronic music with video projections that invites audiences to hear—and see—music in entirely new ways.
The evening features an eclectic mix of works that blur the lines between acoustic and electronic, serious and playful by established and rising composers.
The Powerhouse makes its debut as a vibrant new venue for modern music and visual art in a historic neighborhood.
