Strange Beautiful Music 18: Night Two

Now in its 18th year, Strange Beautiful Music returns to the iconic Rivera Court for an evening of adventurous sound. Vocalist Alex Koi and cellist Kirin McElwain open the night with an intimate, exploratory set blending acoustic and electronic textures. The evening concludes with New Music Detroit performing works by Molly Joyce, Rui Penha, Pierre-Yves Macé, Lei Liang, and Keiko Devaux — a program curated by NMD creative director Justin Snyder specifically for the acoustics and atmosphere of this historic space.

This concert is part of a three-day festival, with Day 1 at The Motown Mansion and Day 3 at the Cadieux Stage. Visit newmusicdetroit.com for more details.
