Sinister Soirée: Malnoia meets Ensemble Mycelium at Loft393

Step into the chilling embrace of darkness at a double bill affair, Sinister Soirée, featuring the macabre sounds of the classical piano trio, Ensemble Mycelium, and the experimental chamber Jazz trio, Malnoia. As a Classical Keys & Groupmuse collaboration, featuring Grammy-nominated performers, this spine-tingling event is a departure from the traditional, bringing the bacchanal back to chamber music. Libations will be sold to help quell the fright, as surrealistic silent horror films, curated by German filmmaker Laurin Federlein, are projected throughout Loft393. Spectral spectators are encouraged to wear their creepy/sexiest soirée attire.

Set 1: 8/8:15 Ensemble Mycelium will perform Shostakovich Trio No. 2 (featuring the "Dance of Death"), Roslaves Nocturne for violin and piano, Scriabin's Black Mass, da Falla's Ritual Fire Dance, Cassado's Dance of the Green Devil for cello and piano and Hardy's Nevermore" (from "Three Pieces Inspired By Edgar Allan Poe") for solo violin.
