$5 suggested donation
Hamid Drake, percussion
Michael Zerang, percussion
On Saturday, June 20th, at 2pm Pacific / 4pm Central, Hamid Drake and Michael Zerang will play the sun into it’s yearly apex, which takes place at 2:43pm Pacific / 4:43pm Central that day. And we’re very excited to announce that we’re now partnering with our friends at Experimental Sound Studio to bring this concert to you live. As organizers of the renowned COVID-era Quarantine Concerts, and a longtime sister organization to Elastic Arts, we couldn’t be happier to announce this partnership!
We hope this special ritual will bring our local and global community together, and launch us into a new era with a re-invigorated sense of purpose, mutual understanding, and gratitude for the diversity of peoples who meet in a place of love and respect to create and experience the art and music that we present.
The Quarantine Concerts are a collaborative endeavor meant to provide artists a space to share their work and continue to earn a living during this time when most live performance opportunities have been cancelled due to COVID-19. We believe in the necessity of art during difficult moments like these, and feel fortunate to live in a time when loss of mobility does not have to mean loss of community. Thank you for being here.
