La MaMa Presents OUR LADY J, 5/25 & 27
By: Kelsey Denette May. 04, 2012
Our Lady J presents Beauty As God(dess), a concert celebrating the aesthetic of the Divine. Continuing her previously explored themes of non-traditional, post-religious forms of worship, Our Lady J and special guests perform songs honoring the ever-present, yet mostly unacknowledged modern deity : BEAUTY itself. Is there anything more valued in our 21st Century society? Is there anything more sacred and desired?
Our Lady J's latest musical offering "blends the organic quality of her commanding piano playing with haunting electronic vocoders and live gospel choir, resulting in sublime musical tension-- heightened by the show's thematic oscillation between sacred and irreverent, classical and avant-garde, natural and designed, elegant and gritty."
The evening will also present selections from Our Lady J's first studio album - to released at the end of 2012 as a companion soundtrack to the foreboding apocalypse.
