THU, MAY 07 - PARKDALE REVOLUTIONARY ORCHESTRA w/ KARL MOHR - TRANZAC, TORONTO Parkdale Revolutionary Orchestra present new material, with a new drummer, with special guest Karl Mohr solo piano/voice set. This excellent pairing presents artful, genuine music along the borderline of classical song tradition where it meets the avant-garde. This is not a classical renaissance or 're-contexting' of European art music, but a joyful exit from traditional realms and into new musical forms, modes and meaning. Karl Mohr presents his darkwave classics and new songs from his forthcoming album in textured piano/voice moments. DETAILS: 292 Brunswick Ave, Tranzac front room, Thursday, 10:00PM start, PWYC - not to miss! ===================================================== 2.
