THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED
"The future of classical music lies in the hands of this full chamber orchestra ensemble, evolving the genre through unconventional compositions." (Baltimore Magazine)
Mind on Fire will present Kate Soper's "Voices from the Killing Jar." Named for the container used by entomologists to carefully kill butterflies, Soper's 2012 masterwork is a song cycle depicting a series of female protagonists caught in “hopeless situations, inescapable fates, impossible fantasies, and other unlucky circumstances.” Using electronics, space, parody, noise, and intense filigree - it is the most virtuosic and technically demanding work we have performed to date.
Rahne Alexander "is thoughtful, fierce, and one hell of a storyteller.” (Hey, Jen Cooper)
Rahne is an artist, musician, writer, award-winning essayist, activist, and front-woman to Santa Librada, a punk band focused on "feminism, transgender rights, love, sex, and the surveillance state." Creator of everything, Alexander will be presenting a provactive set focused on her video art - an index of comedy, routine, parody, and context that often calls our perception of the world into question.
Bobbi Rush "creates evocative arts that speaks to a level of intimacy that is often overlooked in the motions and meticulous schedules of the day." (Week in Pop)
Rush traces the fringe of art pop, RnB, and active poetry. Meditating often on love and bodies in love, her music comes in vulnerable waves - electronic layers of her voice accompanying a solitary, resonant beat. Her work is sparse, sharp, and piercing - a full call for connections to form and flourish.
