Tonight I hustled myself over to the Spring season opening night of Tuning the Air, and LUCKY for you, this luscious show happens every Thursday night from now until July 3, 2010 (and more after that, after a summer break).
Look, I’m not going to try to explain what this show is. Please pop over to their website and take a listen to the video there. I think it will give you a sense of this incredible thing. Then skip back over here and finish consuming my pap.
Because really, these meandering words are simply pap, compared to the magic these musicians unleash with their strings.
I was reluctant to go tonight, afraid that my cough would kick in—the sound of which would be most unwelcome in this performance. But I went because I knew that this show is magic. Serious magic. Mostly white magic, but I think there’s a few streaks of black, which adds a compelling texture.
Please go. At least once. Magic this strong is worth embracing.
p.s. Tonight qualifies as a “New Person” night for I met and chatted with Steve Turnidge of Ars Divina. Of course he knows a slew of people that I know–this is little ole Seattle after all–but I had never met him.
