Cello Noir w/ Austin Camerata & Naala (8:00, 5:00, 2:00)

The happy compromise between the high drama of violin and the sonorous low tones of a bass, cello is a perfect medium for works that tap into a full emotional spectrum, managing to capture everything between elation and sorrow with gut-wrenching efficiency. Austin Camerata totally understands that immense power, so they’re offering it to the world with an intimate evening allowing the instrument’s intensity to shine. Quartet Cello Noir proves the cello’s mettle with a performance of classical canon works from Debussy and Piazzola. They’ll also highlight the eternal nature of those dreamy cello tones with songs from Radiohead and Fleetwood Mac, accompanied by singer Naala. Old and new combine for a timeless evening. – Cat McCarrey
