Hinge: “A Scheme for Brightness”
Oct 19 at
7:00-8:00pm
tinyurl.com/hinge1019

Beginning in a place of darkness and expanding out to the stars, “A Scheme for Brightness” looks for optimism and hope in a dark time. It brings together shredding rock guitar licks, delicate ambient melodies, and hypnotic polyrhythms, featuring a new arrangement of Julius Eastman’s epic work “Gay Guerrilla,” (1979) along with pieces by Nicole Murphy, Marti Epstein, and Hinge artistic director Dan VanHassel.

Boston-based combines cutting-edge contemporary and experimental music, seamless multimedia integration, and the innovative re-imagining of rock and pop songs. It lies somewhere between a classical chamber ensemble and a rock band.

This performance is part of the free “New Music at Short North Stage” concert series.

Admission is free. Masks and proof of vaccinations will be required. Seating is limited to 75 people. Recommended for ages 9 and older. Parking assistance is available through the ParkColumbus app.
