Ciel Sessions - Shadow Play: On Change

We are thrilled to welcome Shadow Play, an ongoing exploratory music series conceived by psychologist, cellist, and vocalist . For this special Ciel session performance, Pixley has invited a remarkable ensemble featuring Isaac Schwartz (perc.), Kevin Goldberg (bass) & Nathan Bickart (keys). Together, the quartet will present original works playfully exploring the night’s theme, ON CHANGE. Shaped by their four distinct musical voices and guided by moving image as a visual and inquisitive thread, Pixley, Schwartz, Goldberg and Bickert weave jazz, blues, classical, and experimental sounds, inviting deep listening and curiosity about the nature of transformation. Visual artist will grace the venue with original mixed-media collage creations.
