SPOKEN WORD w/PIANO AND ACCORDION BY STELTH ULVANG OF THE LUMINEERS

NYC Debut UPSTREAM w/creator-performers Will Healy and George Meyer

Tickets required, $20. 

ABOUT THE EVENT

Stelth Ulvang premieres "The Heartbeats of Stars, In Which Aliens Love Louis Armstrong," inspired by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan's data capture of love that left our galaxy on Voyager's gold record. This performance is a meditation on the many orbits in two lives, and the many points of intersection between them that may seem chaotic but translate in ways that can be shared across sound, music, and story, as a fabric of meaning with a common language of wavelengths. Between and among world tours, Stelth Ulvang of The Lumineers has crafted spoken word and developed scores and theme songs for Satellite Collective films. He first appeared with Satellite on the stage of BAM Fisher. 

UPSTREAM is a duo project between 2023 Leonard Bernstein Award-Winner Will Healy and violinist George Meyer. They will be performing a live program of co-compositions for violin and piano that draw from bluegrass, hip-hop, and jazz. They began writing and improvising together while they were students at The Juilliard School, and formalized as a performing group earlier this year. This program will have multiple premiere performances of new works, which they will tour in the Midwest later this year.
