Mouse On Mars @ Harris Theater 1/31/11
German IDM duo Mouse on Mars will unleash a brand-new slew of blippy electronic beats at the latest concert in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's MusicNOW series this Monday at the Harris Theater. The never-before-heard piece, specially composed in collaboration with the CSO, will be followed by a performance of "A Cat's Seven Lives," which was composed by Martin Matalon to accompany Luis Bunuel's surrealist film Un Chien Andalou. Fans of orchestral-electronic alliances can expect more from Mouse on Mars in September, when they'll collaborate with the Koelner Philharmonie's MusikFabrik in their hometown of Cologne. At the post-concert reception at the Harris, music lovers can nosh on free food and drink and chat with the musicians. Brad Miner of Illmeasures will perform in the lobby before and after the show.
The performance takes place Monday, January 31st at 7 PM at the Symphony Center's Harris Theater (205 E. Randolph). General admission tickets cost $20.
