The music department Music Now! concert series presents egg by César Alvarez (Sonic Practice faculty) and Emily Orling

Egg Album Cover

egg is a theatrical staging of César's album alongside live ceramics by Emily Orling. This performative salad of sound, poetics, anecdotes, and real-time collaboration calls up unthinkable thoughts about creative kinship, small-town futurism, trans-middle age, mediocre parenting, and the ancient unreliable religion of art-making.
