EVENTS - Outlier: Hauntings of the Avant-Garde

OUTLIER: HAUNTINGS OF THE AVANT-GARDE - Thursday, November 4 @ Former UMMA Off/Site
*** "Imagine a room overwhelmed with sound & vision - snatches of music, throbs & echoes, sights unseen until this night that somehow seem familiar. Haunted by fever dreams of the avant-garde past, Outlier combines the heavy influence of 20th century composition with contemporary approaches to experimental music and performance art in a space filled with psychedelic majesty. Is it real? How will you explain it to others? How will you explain it to yourself? HOTT LAVA brings a stellar cast of musicians, composers, performance artists, and filmmakers (including Laurel Halo, Todd Osbourn, Sean Patrick, Tom Buckholz and Ted Kennedy) to create a dynamic installation work that will delight, provoke, and overload the senses. OUTLIER is the culminating evening event for University Musical Society's (UMS) much anticipated three-day celebration of the 50th anniversary of the ONCE Festival.
