Experience the unique blend of improvisational music and experimental film with Rob Schwimmer's live performance. Schwimmer will showcase his talents on piano, theremin, autoharp, and Haken Continuum, accompanying four of Maya Deren's seminal works. This rare combination of sounds will take audiences on a beautiful and mysterious sonic journey. Deren's surreal and dreamlike films are heavily influenced by voodoo and incorporate dance and ritual. Her work remains celebrated as a groundbreaking contribution to the American avant-garde movement. Schwimmer, having collaborated with musical legends such as Simon and Garfunkel, Wayne Shorter, and the Boston Pops, will lead us on an organic and musically rich journey, from pensive to thrilling, with many musical ports of call in between. Don't miss this unforgettable experience.
