Join the Magpie Duo (Lauren Conroy, violin & Matthew Schultheis), for a program of new and old music that steps outside the familiar classical sound world. This program is an electro-acoustic meditation, featuring analog synthesizer and a wide-ranging selection of repertoire, from violin duos by the Baroque composer Georg Philipp Telemann to meditative suites by American avant-gardist John Cage and more.

They will be splitting the bill with local cellist Evan Pillsbury.

ABOUT THE SERIES

Inspired by a certain well-known desk-based concert series, our Tiny Circulation Desk Series brings the same stripped-down, close-up energy, with more library cards and fewer office supplies.

Equal parts cozy hangout and low-key listening room, this weeknight series transforms the Mechanics’ Hall Library into one of Portland’s most intimate and unexpected music venues.

Filmed by the Portland Media Center, each concert feels like a live demo, a secret show, and a community gathering all at once.
