The Wordless Music Series continues to bring in great musicians to perform sometimes overlooked music. This concert showcased Colleen , a French minimalist that used several acoustic and electronic instruments to layer beautiful melodies.
Next up was a duo performance with Katya Mihailova and Colin Jacobsen. Although some songs were a little sloppy, there were some incredible moments with the experimental piano and violin.
You know by now that Beirut is an 8 piece ensemble headed by the very young Zach Condon. His foreign style of Gypsy music is always more enjoyable live so I found it odd to be sitting down to his music tonight. Although not as good as his Bowery show, the performance was lively and reached its apex when the crowd took to the aisles for the encore.
