Hard As F#@!
Monday, December 15, 2008 at 8 p.m.
Remember those different types of literary conflict from high school English class? You know, Man v. Man, Man v. Himself, Man v. Nature, Man v. Machine, and Man v. Supernatural? Tonight Mobtown Modern adds another conflict to that list—Man v. Music—with a program of music so hard it strikes fear into the fingers of our musicians. We've got all your favorite purveyors of the musical hard stuff on this concert, including newly minted centenarian Elliott Carter.
Tickets are $10, general admission and $5 for Contemporary Museum members and students with a valid ID.
