On the Threshold of Dreamland

7:30pm, Saturday, January 25, 2025 (First Church of Christ, Scientist, Berkeley)

A lost highway, witches, folk songs… Volti joins Left Coast for an eclectic, beautiful, and sometimes unsettling sonic journey which delves into the role of place in the human imagination. New works by LJ White and Todd Kitchen, exploring instability and dreams, contrast with the humor of Laurie San Martin’s Witches and Benjamin Britten’s tender folk song arrangements.
