Original Gravity Turns Beer into Music at Lamplighter Brewery in Cambridge
On February 9, Original Gravity turns beer into music... and back again!
Join us at Lamplighter Brewing in Cambridge, the newest taproom north of the river. Two months ago, we sat composer Andy Vores down with Tyler Fitzpatrick of Lamplighter to taste their signature beers before they opened. Drunk with inspiration, Andy returned to his composer's garret and wrote his newest work, Lamplighter Reveal, representing the taste of Lamplighter Brewing... an Original Gravity first!
Don't miss this world premier unique melding of sound and zymurgy, as Andy's inspired string quartet is turned back into beer at the creative and adept hands of Lamplighter's Master Brewer. Tyler has listened to recordings of Andy's string works and is fashioning a one-night only adventurous brett-fermented buckwheat ale to pair with the music. This quixotic brew will only be available the night of the concert.
Tickets to Original Gravity are $15, on sale now. Student and senior tickets discounted to $10, with valid ID.
About Original Gravity
Curated by local pianist and composer Keith Kirchoff, Original Gravity Concert Series takes modern classical music out of the concert hall and presents it in an informal, fun environment: a brewery. Committed to the music of New England composers, the Original Gravity crew collaborates with the host brewers to design a beer specifically in tune with the artist's work, creating a blended synchronicity of sound and zymurgy.
Keith Kirchoff (Artistic Director) is a pianist, composer, and Vice President of the Society for Electro Acoustic Music in the United States (SEAMUS). Specializing in works which combine interactive electronics with solo piano, his Electro-Acoustic Piano tour has been presented in six countries. Keith is also an accomplished homebrewer and beer connoisseur, having travelled extensively in the United States and abroad in search of the perfect pint.
