Night of Decayed Musicians

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.
