Rocket City New Music
Season 3 Opener
3…2…1… LOOK!
Rocket City New Music is counting down to our season opener at The Electric Belle. We will explore how music is much more than just sound; it can express everything we can’t quite say with words and transport us without ever leaving our seat. In this genre-bending display of today’s most exciting composers, we will look to the uncharted for knowledge, look for the beauty in the chaos, look for the contradictions in certainty, and meaning in tragedy.

The exciting launch of a new series exploring the intersection of music and architecture, Songs About Buildings and Moods is an artistic interpretation of historically and culturally relevant spaces.
