Join pianist Nicholas Bavani at An die Musik Like for 'Vexations' – a darkly luminous recital where avant-garde audacity collides with late-Romantic gothic intensity.

Anchored by the obsessive stillness of Erik Satie’s Vexations, the program moves through stark contrasts and shadowed beauty—juxtaposing the architectural clarity of Mozart, the smoldering introspection of Brahms, and the modernism of Prokofiev's electric sounds. Each work becomes a different facet of psychological tension: restraint versus excess, devotion versus defiance.

HOWDY, JESTERS! nonapplicabl (@nonapplicabl) and Harley Noah (@iharleynoah) would like to invite you to a CLOWNS VS COWBOYS Birthday Extravaganza! Join us as Baltimore’s Clown Boy Princess and Disco Cowboy host a show filled with, well… clowns and cowboys!

Echolocation is an interactive party inspired by animal sensory systems and their use of sound as a means of navigation and survival. The DJ will be obscured by a sheer curtain with dolphin related visuals projecting behind them; so the dancers can see a shadow of the DJ, while the DJ is left in the dark, unable to see the audience at all, navigating their environment via echolocation.

We hope this event serves you as a space for sanctuary on the dance floor and a place to feel your hypersensitivity and motion together.
