Something to Write Home About is an era-hopping sonic thrill ride that encourages audience members to encounter their past and present. Listeners progress through a series of prompts that focus attention on one’s own emotions and experiences, and then get up close and personal with the composers themselves through letters, interviews, and musical examples. Stamped postcards – designed with photography from artist Eliaichi Kimaro—are provided by the quartet for audience members to jot down notes and inspirations of their own. A behind the scenes look at some singularly mesmeric music, Something to Write Home About uncovers the heart and the intellect behind the music with an experience that invites the audience to do much more than sit back and relax.
Patrons who purchased their tickets before January 21 will receive their stamped postcard pack in the mail the week of the show. Patrons who purchase their tickets after January 21 will receive their postcard pack in the mail, supplies permitting, but we cannot guarantee they will be received in advance of the program.
The livestream will take place at 7:30pm Pacific.
