The 802 Tour: Nico Muhly, Sam Amidon, Doveman, and Nadia Sirota with the Laurels String Quartet

“Raw folk and electronically assisted sonic richness, in an improbably captivating mix.” —The Oregonian

This groundbreaking collective of composers/performers (and old Vermont friends) blurs the lines between contemporary classical, deeply rooted folk, and modern pop. The evening features Nico Muhly, perhaps the most renowned composer of his generation; avant-folkie Sam Amidon; melancholic/ambient singer-songwriter Thomas “Doveman” Bartlett; and violist supreme Nadia Sirota, backed by the Twin Cities’ own Laurels String Quartet. Collaborators, kindred spirits, drinking buddies . . . the program includes shared music, inspired solos, and new musical ideas floated in an air of sonic camaraderie and landed with astounding ability.
