Scranton-based pianist and composer, Zach Sprowls, presents the world premier of an instrumental telling of what it’s like to start over. Featuring the piano and a live string trio, Zach uses elements of neoclassical minimalism, melody, and aching harmony to translate his own life experiences into a deeply-felt journey for listeners. His music has already been featured on highly-acclaimed KEXP radio and performed by members of the US Army Strings and the National Symphony Orchestra. For fans of Max Richter, Olafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm - or really anyone who knows the ups and downs of growing up - this is an experience you don’t want to miss. This event is part of the Scranton Fringe Festival.
Maureen McGuigan-Death is probably the most taboo subject in our society and rarely discussed enough, but the only certain thing in life is that we will die. We know this intellectually but facing and coping with the loss of loved ones and our own ultimate death in a real and visceral way can be scary and overwhelming. In this one-woman show, Maureen McGuigan shares her own struggle with dealing with this topic through humor, personal stories, history, and science. Directed by Alicia Grega featuring projection and music by Jason Smeltzer, the performance encourages us to reflect on and discuss death more to help us live a more authentic and meaningful life.
