Life, Love, Loss, & Everything Else

Join musician-poets Neal Learner and Martin Graff for an entirely unique, moving, and inspiring multimedia experience of opera, piano, spoken word, and projected artwork to move your soul and light your imagination. First half of the program features Graff performing his solo, multimedia spoken-word act of poetic-prose vignettes with matching artwork about every topic from the stigma of liking scrapple to the meaning of life. The performance is punctuated by original piano compositions from his album Trips for Piano to further deepen the experience. Second half of the program features a world premiere live staged reading of Learner’s 30-minute, operetta Get Me Home: A Travel Opera in Three Acts. Learner’s music has been described as “impressive,” “genius,” and “masterpiece.” For more: thefacezone.com; tripsforpiano.com; www.learnermusic.com Free admission.
