Art doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Relevant Tones is a Livestreamed broadcast series that combines insightful conversations about current topics with storytelling and performances of music by living composers.
The theme for this inaugural episode is astrology. Host Seth Boustead will chat with celebrity astrologers Rebecca Gordon (Dr. Oz, Harpers Bazaar) and Sam Reynolds (Bill Nye), sun signs, the western zodiac versus Chinese zodiac and what you can do if through no fault of your own you were born under a bad sign and are, consequently, a bit of a jerk.
Astrology inspired music by Sufjan Stevens, Peri Mauer and Marc Mellits will be performed by Peter Ferry, Osso Quartet and Ford Fourqurean. Two lucky audience members will have their birth charts realized musically in real time.
This is a livestream and will start on time!
