Find me in front of the Ballard Library:
Sunday, October 09 at 12:50 PM!
Catch The Adventures of Basstronaut performed on the bed of a 1928 Model A Ford pickup truck!
Come at 12:15 to catch Puget Sound Company, an 8 voice a cappella group specializing in creative arrangements of pop songs - using their voices to imitate all the instruments! This performance kicks off a series of second Sunday events at The Ballard Library, ramping up to the reopening of the adjacent Ballard Commons Park.
This event was originally scheduled for September 11, but it has been postponed due to poor air quality.
About The Adventures of Basstronaut:
I sing Mozart's motet for solo soprano, Exsultate Jubilate, using one of his organ sonatas as a short overture. The story follows the adventures of one of my all time favorite characters, Basstronaut, as she travels through space on a journey from her home planet, only to crash into the Caribbean Sea. She continues her mission of researching Earth's sea life while looking for her spaceship, making an octopus friend on the way. The piece is sung in Latin, but there's no need to understand the text. In fact, understanding the text might make you even more confused!
