May 9 @ 7pm

Walters Art Museum (600 N Charles St)

Mind on Fire presents and evening of meta-opera. We’ll perform ‘KHAAREJ’ by Sahar Te, a work for drum kit and singer ruminating on poetry and meanings lost in translation - featuring a text in farsi meant for a non-native speaker. James Young’s ‘Caliburn’ also appears on the program. For five low winds and soprano, it is a cantata on heat, yelling, transformation, and God.

May 3 @ 8pm

Church on the Square (1025 S Potomac St)

Mind on Fire will be accompanying master choreographer Danah Bella as part of the Music on the Square performance series. In an evening of spectral harmonies and open structures we will explore the intersection of physical movements and sonic fogs - that is - dancing to tunes. Featuring the music of Cat Lamb, Anthony Green, and Moondog.

April 11 @ 8pm

2640 Space (2640 St Paul St)

OUR NEXT MAINSTAGE SHOW

Mind on Fire is playing a living set of musical kinetics. Composer Chris Dietz’s ‘Contretemps’ features the orchestra divided against itself. Sky Macklay’s ‘Microvariations’ is a codex of rainbow-colored landings in two tuning systems. And we’ll be debuting a brand new work by local sound hero Jamal Moore.

ALSO

Soul Cannon, violet off the release of their eponymous album, will present their special brand of ultra-filigree, futurist hip-hop. 

AND

Comic Jessica Murphy Garrett will place words in specific orders and timings to create joy and delight. You may yourself find both of these feelings on April 11.
