DARK SOUNDS CONCERT SERIES 2010
Featuring Beirut, Andrew Bird and
Ian Schneller, and
The Cinematic Orchestra
This three-part series of live
music performances took its thematic cue from the conceptual threads
that weave through Haunted:
Contemporary Film/Video/Performance, aiming
to evoke the exhibition’s elements of melancholy, ghostliness, the
uncanny, and our collective and individual obsession with accessing the
past.
8 pm: Doors open with a private viewing.
10 pm: Performances begin.

modernized gypsy folk led by multi-instrumentalist Zach Condon
featuring a unique blend of rich vocals and layered accordions, horns,

landscape of speaker horns.
