Illustration of Ben Van Winkle and the Figment(Tyler Johnston)

Music in the moment is music for the moment.

This Saturday, singer and cellist Ben Van Winkle - and his group of instrumentalists known as The Figment - will perform at the Walker Theatre in downtown Chattanooga, joined by musicians of the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera.

Doors open at 6:30 PM - concert begins at 7:30 PM.

I spoke with Ben - and John Kilkenny, the CSO’s executive director.
