The violinist is mixing classical Hindustani music with modern sounds to bring it to a new generation of music lovers. ” NPR Tell Me More

Morgan Taylor’s “Music of Gustafer Yellowgold”
www.gustaferyellowgold.com
Sunday, Aug. 12, 5 p.m.
Two-time Grammy® Nominee, Morgan Taylor and his band will play perennial favorites and dig deep into the wild and hip back catalogue for this rare, non-video version of his nationally heralded Gustafer Yellowgold show. Tasteful, smart and FUN songs for everyone! Video
The animated character of Gustafer is the brainchild of singer and illustrator Morgan Taylor, whose band accompanies Gustafer on various adventures on CDs and DVDs and in popular multimedia shows that appeal to both kids and grownups. (Gustafer Yellowgold has opened for Wilco.) Recently the New York Times described Taylor, who as an adult rocker has shared bills with the Smithereens and Bob Dylan, as "a cross between Yellow Submarine and Dr. Seuss." –Time Magazine

Are you as excited as we are for the reopening of our Ingleside campus?

Superfly Disco

Improv Master Class for Teens featuring Chris Ulrich Tickets on sale August 1st.
Saturday, Oct. 13, 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

This master class will explore collaboration, trust and being in the moment for improv performers.

Expect a high energy and active session! No improv experience is required, but it is designed for 9th-12th graders who are on an improv team, who are involved in theatre or are interested in improvisation.
$8/$5 for MCC tax district residents
