Note: Tickets for the May 20 performance of this program are currently sold out. However, tickets remain for the performance May 21 at 8pm.
In a once-in-a-lifetime event, 3A performs composer Philip Glass's one-act sci-fi melodrama beneath the towering Spruce Goose's tail, commemorating the 75th anniversary of its lone 26-second flight. Set in NYC, the sole character, "M," recalls encounters with extraterrestrial life forms. Are the surrealistic visions haunting her an accurate recollection of an abduction, part of a drug-induced nightmare, or the beginning of a mental breakdown? M mirrors builder Howard Hughes's own mental battles at this nexus of the fragile mind and sky.
If you'd like to enjoy after-hours access to the museum before the show, a pre-show reception, and even a tour inside the Spruce Goose, you can "upgrade your ticket" at checkout or at this link (each upgrade only applies to a single ticket): https://www.thirdangle.org/albums?category=Show%20Subscriptions%20%2B%20Upgrages
Pre-show festivities begin at 6:30pm at the Evergreen Museum. Concert starts at 8pm.

About Arwen Myers, soprano
Praised for her "crystalline tone and delicate passagework" (San Francisco Chronicle), soprano Arwen Myers captivates audiences with her timeless artistry and exquisite interpretations. Transmitting a warmth and "deep poignancy" (Palm Beach Arts Paper) onstage, Arwen shines in solo performance across the US and beyond. With outstanding technique and mastery of a wide range of vocal colors, Arwen's dazzling oratorio and solo appearances feature repertoire from the baroque to modern day, and everything in between. Her history includes appearances with Portland Baroque Orchestra, Early Music Vancouver, Pacific MusicWorks, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, working with such notable conductors as Nicholas McGegan, Monica Huggett, David Fallis, John Butt, David Hill, Scott Allen Jarrett, Erick Lichte, and Matthew Dirst.
