Mozart's in the Hizzie
When was the last time you heard house music combined with homophony? Impress your friends and that hipster you're jonesin' for by checking out the New Millennium Orchestra of Chicago, an ensemble that blends classical elements such as chamber music and opera with less expected ingredients such as rock, hip-hop, electronic, and more. In the past, they've played alongside local garage-girl group Hollows, rapper Lupe Fiasco, and DJ Spooky.
On Saturday, April 9th, the NMO presents its show "Mix Tape III: Mozart in the House." You know NMO's gonna be all up in Wolfie's game as conductor Francesco Milioto leads the ensemble from the piano in accompaniment to his favorite Mozart arias. Before you're all "Ariettas are SO 1786," keep in mind that following the classical portion of the evening, NMO will be working a la electronica with DJs including Adonis Childs, Ryan Fasshauser, and Dojo vs. Twitch.
The show kicks off at 8 p.m. at the lovely Mayne Stage (1328 West Morse Ave). Tickets are $15 in advance / $20 at the door.
