"Straight-A students of the contemporary scene" —The Washington Post

Camp Concert Hall, Booker Hall of Music

In February 2008, eighth blackbird was honored with its first Grammy for the recording strange imaginary animals. Long before the Grammy judges delivered their verdict, our audiences were well aware of the ensemble’s impeccable musicianship and spirited originality. Hailed as the ambassadors of new music, ensemble-in-residence eighth blackbird returns to our performance stage for two concerts this season. Ever inventive and boundless in its exploration of music, eighth blackbird collaborates with DJ Dennis DeSantis on "strange imaginary remix," a live remix of pieces from the ensemble’s most recent album, strange imaginary animals. The concert will also feature DeSantis’ muscular, metronomic Powerless, David M. Gordon’s hard-hitting, industrial Friction Systems alongside Gordon Fitzell’s atmospheric evanescence and Steve Mackey’s rock-influenced Indigenous Instruments. An arrangement of Radiohead’s Dollar and Cents by Chicago’s Cliff Colnot round out this amplified gutsy set.

Tickets: $20 adults, $18 seniors, $10 children, $16 UR employees, FREE for UR students

Tickets go on sale August 25, 2008.
