NYC percussionist Chris Corsano returns once again to Garfield Artworks for a solo performance.

On Tuesday, March 30th, come see CAPA High School’s new music ensemble, Antithesis, perform alongside percussionist/composer Lukas Ligeti and Ben Opie (saxophonist of Opek and Thoth Trio) at Garfield Artworks, 4931 Penn Ave.  The concert begins at 7:30 pm and admission is $10, open to all ages.  Hope to see you there!

It really is a great weekend for Pittsburgh’s new music scene, and Im not just saying that. IonSound Project makes their New York debut on the Phoenix Concerts on Friday night at 8 p.m. in the Church of Saint Matthew and Saint Timothy, so if you’re in the New York area and reading this, come out and support IonSound. And just because we’re exporting one of our finest new music groups for the weekend, it doesn’t mean there isn’t some excellent music to be heard in the Burgh. Loop 2.4.3 plays at Garfield Artworks Friday at 10 p.m., and Friday afternoon also marks the beginning of a two-day Sounds of Africa Music Festival at Chatham University. The festival will explore contemporary African composition through panel discussions and performances. You can find out about the local concerts on the Events Calendar.
