Announcement: Upcoming Shows at Universal Preservation Hall to 2023
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Proctors Collaborative has announced a series of upcoming shows at UPH in Saratoga Springs.
Caffe Lena Presents Darlingside – 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 30. If Darlingside’s first album, Birds Say (2015), focused on the past through nostalgia, and their second, Extralife (2018), contemplated uncertain futures, Fish Pond Fish stands firmly in the present, looking at what’s here, now. Dave Senft (bass), Don Mitchell (guitar, banjo), Auyon Mukharji (violin, mandolin), and Harris Paseltiner (cello, guitar) have created a natural history in song—taking us into gardens, almond groves, orchard rows, down to the ocean floor and under stars.
Kronos Quartet – 7 p.m. on Sunday, January 29, 2023. For more than 45 years, San Francisco’s Kronos Quartet – David Harrington (violin), John Sherba (violin), Hank Dutt (viola), and Sunny Yang (cello) – has combined a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to continually reimagine the string quartet experience. In the process, Kronos has become one of the world’s most celebrated and influential ensembles, performing thousands of concerts, releasing more than 60 recordings, collaborating with many of the world’s most accomplished composers and performers, and commissioning over 1,000 works and arrangements for string quartet.
Jessica Vosk – 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 18. Jessica Vosk is a celebrated singer and actress known for stirring roles on the musical theater and concert stage. Vosk made her sold-out Carnegie Hall debut in November 2021 in a solo show titled “My Golden Age” and her debut at London’s Cadogan Hall in 2022.
Jazz at Lincoln Center PRESENTS: Songs We Love – 5 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 26.
