Songs for Unusual Creatures
Songs for Unusual Creatures | Saturday, April 26, 2014
2 pm Family Matinee  |  7pm
$18 Adults/$15 Members/$10 Kids

   . . . an exotic updating of "Carnival of the Animals," with freewheeling, postmodern eclecticism in place of Saint-SaĆ«ns's lush Romanticism . . ."
   The New York Times

Quirky author and composer Michael Hearst, along with his five-piece band, presents Songs for Unusual Creatures: a highly-geeky A/V presentation of some of the most bizarre animals that roam the planet. From the Australian bilby to the deep-sea magnapinna squid, to the microscopic tarde, the creatures are brought to life with such odd-ball instruments as theremin, claviola, daxophone, and stylophone.

Music and Lyrics by Michael Hearst
