BRONZE FONDUE
Huck DeMilo & company are an audience delight – and there will be two other bands on the bill, including Shoot the Messenger. Bronze Fondue is not simply a breathtaking rock experience featuring the inimitable Huck DeMilo - the Man in the Butterfly Mask. Bronze Fondue is a perpetually evolving evening of live performance and visual stimulation. The object of Bronze Fondue is to make something organic happen in a world that is increasingly high-fructose corn syrup. Come down and join in -- let's see what we can get going! |

Poet Kate Light, award-winning author of Gravity's Dream, The Laws of Falling Bodies, and Open Slowly, and Oceanophony, hits the stage once again with Einstein's Mozart: Two Geniuses. In 2006, the Colorado Chamber Players commissioned and premiered Einstein's Mozart to commemorate the near-convergence of the centenary of Einstein's ½Miracle Year… and Mozart's 250th birthday. Says violinist Jimmy Lin, Artistic Director of SummerFest LaJolla, which commissioned and premiered Oceanophony, "Kate Light's words in Oceanophony, like her other works, are delightful, whimsical, informative and funny. The words lent themselves so easily to music that they seem like beautiful musical notes -- each one a droplet of sparkle. |
