Tuesdays @ Monk Space PRESENTS
VOTE! (and then come to this concert)
It’s election night! You’ve already voted and also perhaps donated, canvassed, phone banked, or otherwise engaged in the democratic process to the best of your means and abilities.
Instead of spending tonight staring at an election map on TV, come down to Monk Space for an evening inspired by awe, hope, and the promise of tomorrow.
The program will include:
- Optional cell phone valet (securely check your mobile device to briefly escape the 24-hour news cycle)
- Herbal tea station (and bring your favorite mug from home to compete in the mug contest!)
- Interactive sound and art installations
- Historical presidential campaign songs re-imagined and newly arranged
- A world premiere for fixed media (field recordings) and live musicians
Program
Traditional Scottish Tune: "Highland Muster Roll": Little Wat Ye Wha's-a-Comin' (1828)
Robert Treat Paine Jr.: Jefferson and Liberty (1800)
