Dancing about Architecture

Before you settle in for the long-awaited, super-sized weekend, take a trip to downtown St. Paul for the Tuesday Salon on November 21 at 7:30 p.m.

We have three very interesting and diverse solo performances. Stan Woolner will play his own composition on piano; Paul Reiners displays his chops on the laptop; and spectacular clarinetist Kate Berning-Alfred joins us to play a piece by Jeff Lambert. Also featured will be Chris Granias and Carei Thomas on dueling pianos.

Tuesday Salon, presented by the American Composers Forum with support from Zeitgeist, presents today’s composers and sound artists in the Twin Cities area, ranging from New Music to New Jazz, from Avant-garde to Avant-pop, from Euro-American to Non-Western traditions.

Back home, the flood wa-ters are now gone,
Back home, there’s black pes-ti-lence in the well.
