Night of Decayed Musicians
2024-10-04 20:00 | Sammons Center for the Arts, 3630 Harry Hines Blvd., Dallas, TX, 75219, United States
Lumedia Musicworks presents its latest concert titled Night of Decayed Musicians in Dallas at The Sammons Center for the Arts on October 4.
Known for their “innovative approach” to classical music (Friends of WRR Classical Radio), the concert celebrates an early Halloween, complete with costumed musicians, special audio and visual effects – a hallmark of Lumedia’s style – and a few surprises. The concert delves into the musical underworld with Vivaldi’s iconic “La Notte” concerto, performed by Estonian-born recorder player Monika Ruusmaa. The mythical Medusa makes an appearance in Purcell’s famous “Music for a While”, and a set titled “from the Tomb of the Unknown Composer” features works by Francesco Durante and Cai d’Hervelois.
“The baroque period is filled with direct references to the dead and things that go bump in the night,” explains Music Director Molly Hammond. “There is an abundance of fright-inducing content to choose from, which we then highlight with precise positioning and some ‘edgy’ interpretation.”
The performance takes place in Meadows Hall at The Sammons Center for the Arts in Dallas on October 4 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $55 and include complimentary valet parking, Perilous Pinot Noir (wine), Rats Ass Ale (beer), Effervescent Eel’s Eye Punch harvested during the last eclipse and blended with freshly killed lemon, sugar plasma, moldy grape skins, and municipal tap water; and post-performance bites with the artists. Consider yourself warned.
Audiences have proclaimed Lumedia to be ‘wacky and wonderful!’ Attend all Lumedia’s concerts with a season subscription, available for purchase through October 4.

About Basically Beethoven Hallam Concerts
The Basically Beethoven Hallam Concerts are a series of free chamber music concerts on Saturday afternoons at 3, at Central Commons, monthly from October – May (excluding December). Each concert features local professional performers who play in a wide range of ensembles.
The Basically Beethoven Hallam Concerts are generously sponsored by Fanchon and Howard Hallam.

This concert series began in 1984 as Bancroft Family Concerts through a partnership with the Dallas Museum of Art. The free admission and daytime time slot of the concerts were expressly chosen to support Basically Beethoven’s commitment to provide professional chamber music to those who would not traditionally be able to attend—particularly older adults and families with children. For nearly four decades, the concerts have consistently attracted full-capacity audiences. Musicians frequently include members of the Dallas and Fort Worth symphonies, the Dallas Opera orchestra, other professional ensembles, and faculty members from local universities such as Southern Methodist University and the University of North Texas.
They are completely free of charge and open to all ages.
