Edward Gorey glory

Author: kris, Category: Events, Music

Start dying your clothes black now, because next month brings us the annual Edwardian Ball Weekend. Folks show up in multi-colored Edwardian costumes, of course, but since the event features the artwork of the peerless Edward Gorey, I feel black clothes and a mopey, skeletal demeanor are appropriate.

The Ball will be held at the Great American Music Hall from January 25 - 27. The website promises that “Eight musicians [will] blend violin, two cellos, bass, guitar, harp, vibraphone, trombone, drums & lush vocal harmonies in a strangely beautiful mix of classical, jazz, chamber, tango, klezmer, sultry lounge, theatrical cabaret, and cinematic dreams.”

Beat THAT.
