On Saturday, I attended the Lampo show in Chicago featuring Marcus Schmickler and Thomas Lehn. It was a pleasant evening of improvised abstract noise. Enjoy the photos.

This is the 100th cm5 concert. It’s significant that ROVA are the musicians for this event. The principals in the Civic Minded 5 started presenting live music with the sponsorship of WPRK-Rollins College. ROVA’s first appearance here was a sonorous 1996 concert in Knowles Memorial Chapel on the Rollins campus, coinciding with our own nascent steps as presenters.
