PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POSTING!

I have no idea what this is, but it looks like an adventure. Who's in?

"Cactus Concert is a tribute to John Cage and Detroit's avant-garde scene, presented by the Detroit Bureau of Sound, with special guests Sophiyah E. and Dominant Hand. The performance features Cage’s Child of Tree, which premiered in Detroit in 1975.
In this innovative piece, an amplified cactus becomes the instrument, with contact microphones capturing the subtle vibrations produced by the plant and the performer. The result is a unique soundscape filled with rustling, creaking, and delicate spring-like noises, blurring the lines between natural sounds and music.
True to Cage’s philosophy of indeterminacy, Child of Tree allows chance to shape the performance, creating a constantly evolving experience for the audience." Picture and description attributed to DIA.
As of this posting this event is free with admission to DIA.

We will meet in Kresge Court for a meet and greet (at 6 pm) before heading over the performance. There will be a table sign that says "DSC Meet-up".

Right in the Eye invites audiences of all ages on an extraordinary multimedia journey through the imaginative world of Georges Méliès, the legendary filmmaker and cinematographer. Created by Jean François Alcoléa, this live production showcases twelve of Méliès’ silent films, accompanied by a spellbinding live score performed by three virtuoso musicians.
Using an eclectic array of instruments—ranging from piano, guitar, and percussion to the theremin, aquaphone, and even plastic take-out lids—the music captures the technical brilliance and whimsical creativity that define Méliès’ cinematic legacy. *Photo and description attributed to DFT-DIA

I've followed this group for many years now after first seeing them on Tiny Desk Concert. I had a chance to see them In San Diego at the Belly Up, but missed them last year when they played at the Aretha Franklin Amphitheater. Their music may not be for everyone, but if you are interested a good live show, this one will not disappoint. They are all over YouTube if you'd like to check them out.

Please be warned that the last time I was at the El Club, there was very little seating, so wear comfortable shoes.

In would HIGHLY recommend you buy tickets soon as this show will surely sell out.

Again, if someone attempts to purchase a ticket and they are sold out, please reach out and post that.

Here's the website to purchase tickets:
