Everything Floats: Post-Rockers, Shoegazers, & Sound Sculptors

 

The Brew House – 2100 Mary Street, South Side 

Post rock meets cutting edge classical music presented by the twenty-two musicians of the Eclectic Laboratory Chamber Orchestra in their upcoming concert Everything Floats: Post-Rockers, Shoegazers, and Sound Sculptors.

Explore time, repetition, and memory through the music of Webern, Morton Feldman, Machaut, along with transcriptions of music by Sonic Youth, Ride, and Icelandic post-rockers Sigur Rós.  The concert will also feature a debut of “i meet you. i remember you.” by Pittsburgh composer David Gerard Matthews, featuring violin soloist Roger Zahab.

Through its unique repertoire, which ranges from classical to indie rock, the Eclectic Laboratory Chamber Orchestra brings together diverse audiences in non-traditional spaces. The group hopes to expose listeners to genres of music, which they may have never before experienced in the Southside’s historic Brew House located at 2100 Mary Street.

$5 Admission for students, artists, & shoegazers
$10 for all others
Tickets are cash only & available for purchase at the door the evening of the event.
