David Dove's (Houston, TX) Subwoofer Trombone uses pitched-down trombone and subwoofers site-specifically, filling spaces with slow-moving sub-bass frequencies and doom-blues. Nicole Bindler (Philly, PA) makes improvised dances underpinned by her 25 years of practice in Body-Mind Centering® and other somatic methods; a fascination with everyday objects; and clowning. Together they create evening-length duo performances that are dark, drony, dreamy, and filled with surprises.

Jess Keyes and Matthew Williams of Baltimore have performed together only once before, at the Mid-Atlantic Wilderness/Sustain Us special show on December 18, 2022. They will improvise sound and movement together again for this special night of duos.

This event is made possible with the support of a Maryland State Arts Council Creative Grant and Deutsch Foundation Rubys Artist Award.

The Dan Meyer Choir - Baltimore's most original community chorus - returns to The 2640 Space with their annual October show featuring original songs about folks who have died in Baltimore over the centuries. Every year they present some new story/songs and revive some old ones. If you love Baltimore and you love Halloween, come celebrate in a uniquely Baltimorean way!

Help raise money for 2640 operations with a spooky musical screening! Collective members and performers will be improvising a live score to accompany Hellraiser II: Hellbound.

Brooklyn’s Public Speaking is the soulful electronic music of singer-songwriter and producer Jason Anthony Harris. Live, he uses voice, found objects, radio, synth, and tape recorder, poring over pedals to loop, warp and augment these sources.

The Arm is Jason Charney (guitar/electronics), Sarah Manley (trombone/electronics), and Patrick McMinn (trumpet/electronics). Somewhere between a beautiful brass chorale and a broken distortion pedal.

Carillon is a solo project from Ken Quam, a musician and composer from Baltimore. Using synthesizers, vibraphone, and sampled sounds, he creates peaceful instrumental music with elements of ambient, drone, and noise. The melodies and motifs repeat, build, and deepen to create a dreamlike atmosphere.

The circus is coming! The circus is coming! The Bread & Puppet Theater will bring its iconic circus to cities and towns in the US Northeast and Midwest August 31-October 12, 2024. The company presents The Beginning After the End of Humanity Circus, a brand new show in the tradition of the iconic Bread & Puppet Circuses that began at Goddard College in Plainfield, Vermont in 1970. As usual, the show will draw on traditional circus tropes and familiar Bread and Puppet iconography to draw attention to the urgent issues of the day. Stilt dancers, paper maché beasts of all sizes and a riotous brass band make a raucous, colorful spectacle of protest and celebration.

On Friday, October 4, Pique Collective will present two works: the graphic score, "Bayou Borne for Pauline," by Annea Lockwood, and the premiere of a new composition by Jeremy Lyons titled, "Water Cycle."

The Lockwood is a spatially fluid piece that requires the performers to move about the room and converge at certain locations in an effort to reflect the movement of water from six bayous toward their drainage location of Houston, Texas. Dedicated to Pauline Oliveros, the piece draws upon the ethos of music being sound that occurs all around us.

Keeping with the water theme, the Lyons composition is a sonic representation of the nine major physical processes of the global water cycle. It is a theme and variations scored for flute, contrabassoon, percussion, cello, guitar, and water.

Free Fall Baltimore has generously funded this screening of the new Pauline Oliveros documentary DEEP LISTENING: The Story of Pauline Oliveros

7pm Sonic Meditation led by Matt Burke

7:30 Refreshments

8-10pm Film Screening

"Weintraub makes use of an archive of rare photographs, home movies, hand-drawn scores and signal flow diagrams, excerpts of unheard music, and rare footage from live performances, to assemble an impression of Oliveros that is charmingly funny, wise and profoundly real but without disturbing her essential mystery."

"What emerges is a clear image of a deeply integrated, profoundly humane creative practice based on attentiveness and inclusion."

-Leah Kardos, The Wire / On Screen

"Luminous."

    --Laurie Anderson

"Weintraub's film, which largely allows Oliveros herself to tell her story and explain her discoveries and ideas through recorded interviews that are peppered with commentary from her peers (Riley, Morton Subotnick) and disciples (Thurston Moore), is never at odds with the central tenets of the Deep Listening ethos. In fact, it leaves the viewer not only wanting to explore her music further, but to pay more attention to the sounds around them—something the composer no doubt would have appreciated."

--Peter Aaaron, Chronogram

Puppet show! Puppet show! Bread & Puppet Theater is excited to announce that we will kick off our 61st year by traversing the Northeast and Eastern Seaboard with a brand-new play created with our director, Peter Schumann, for the exact moment at hand. Of the show–The Hope Principle Show: Citizens’ Shame and Hope in the Time of Genocide–director Peter Schumann says, “With mother dirt prologue, citizen despair gymnastics, massmurder victim’s traditional dance of death celebration, absentee humanity dance. Featuring a flock of disaster ravens and hope principle caribou and exorcism rites for the genociders.”

The company will play cities from Rutland, VT to Washington, DC, with the full tour schedule available at BreadAndPuppet.org/Tour. After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale.

Ticket note: We at Bread and Puppet aim for money never to be an obstacle to seeing our shows. Anywhere that B&P is ticketing a show ourselves (as in the tickets are for sale on our website directly), no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Please email breadandpuppetreservations@gmail.com and we will happily assist you.
