Pick of the Week: Occasional Symphony



Today we're launching a new series on the blog called "Pick of the Week." Each week we will attempt to highlight a different concert or event in the Baltimore area. Most of the time they will be related to new music, sometimes they won't. You'll just have to come back and see. These will be events we'll be going to, so introduce yourself. We'd love to meet you!

This week's pick is the Occasional Symphony's presentation of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.  

Set to music by Baltimore's own composers, Scott Lee and James Young, and the most ominous music from the 19th and 20th centuries, this screening includes a creepy carnival, murder and an infamous sleepwalker. Join us as we celebrate All Hallows' Eve- we're just sorry Halloween only comes once a year.
Yeah, us too!  We can't wait.

BTW, did you know composer James Young's birthday is Halloween? Let's show him some love.


If you know of a great event and want to point our nose towards it, give us a shout at info@outerspacesmusic.org!

Music Space


Have you ever thought of what music does to a space you’re in? A dirty bar becomes an energized party. A stage becomes a living loudspeaker. A cathedral becomes a place of worship. An ascetic studio becomes a creative workshop. And so on…

Yes. I am sure you have thought of this. But have you thought of what a space does to the music being played?

Let’s start with an example and the wrong lesson learned from it.


More after the break...
