Planetarium Concert: Carlos Niño & Friends (Early Performance)

About the experience

Planetarium events are for listening deeply. We ask everyone who attends to remain silent in the listening area and to step outside the space for any conversations. We also ask that there is no phone use in the entire space. If that sounds good to you, read on... _/_/_/_/_/_/ Planetarium presents two concerts by Carlos Niño & Friends. This will be the early concert, with doors open and dinner served at 5pm, and the music starting at 6pm. The concert will end by 8pm. You are encouraged to bring pillows, blankets, sleeping bags and whatever else you need to get comfortable and go deep. For sound, amps and a sub from EM/IA are paired with five Klipschorns. (It sounds amazing, better than pretty much any live venue where you might experience this kind of music.) We do a small amount of reservations so that there's room to lie down. _/_/_/_/_/_/ CARLOS NIÑO & FRIENDS _/_/_/_/_/_/ A prolific album producer, expansive percussionist, experimental composer, connector and communicator, Carlos Niño is known primarily for his main project, Carlos Niño & Friends, and for his extensive work on André 3000's New Blue Sun project. This is Carlos's second year joining us at Planetarium, but we have been following Carlos's progression for over twenty years, when he was producing under the aliases Ammoncontact, Build An Ark and The Life Force Trio. We were in touch occasionally through those years but reconnected again more recently as we began to talk about bringing IASOS to New York. IASOS was one of Carlos's mentors and one of his best friends, and Carlos helped us bring the pioneering new age musician and interdimensional conduit for the last east coast live date he ever played. It would be a major understatement to say that we are elated to welcome Carlos and some yet to be named collaborators. We don't yet know who they'll be, but on that list are artists like Marshall Allen, Adam Rudolph, Darius Jones, Meshell Ndgeocello, Kaoru Watanabe, Laraaji, Sam Gendel. It's a vast and deep crew. _/_/_/_/_/_/ DINNER + BYO DRINKS _/_/_/_/_/_/ Dinner will be served by Marisa Mendez Marthaller aka Soup Doula between 5pm and 6pm, when we'll keep the lights up and have a more social hour before Carlos performs. There will be two soups (one of them vegan) served with hunks of fresh baked bread. Dinner is included with your contribution. (You are welcome to bring your own dinner if you have specific dietary needs.) Otherwise, you can bring your own drinks (and your own cups). Just avoid cans. (The crack when they open is loud.) We'll have all the creature comforts that you might otherwise need inside, so you never have to leave the bubble we're creating. _/_/_/_/_/_/ RESERVATIONS + LOCATION _/_/_/_/_/_/ Because we do Planetarium at a private space, we only send the location info to people who reserve space in advance. We'll send out the location from ask@mistersaturdaynight.com on the morning of the concert. Make sure to safe list that email address so you receive the notification. Also, before you make your reservation, be sure to check that the email address you have on file with RA is one that you can actually access. If you have not received this email by noon on Saturday, April 4, but have reserved a spot, search your spam, junk, promotions and other folders for an email from ask@mistersaturdaynight.com. The subject is always something like: "Please Read: All The Info For Planetarium". So you know how to plan, we can tell you it's not too far from Nowadays, less than five minutes from the Halsey L. If reservations are unavailable for this weekend's events when you are looking, activate the notification function on this page, and you'll get an email if space becomes available. The resale system opens after all dates in a weekend are sold out and stays active until noon on the day before the event. After that, all reservations have to be final so that we can ensure that everyone who reserves space gets the address. We're looking forward to getting lost in sound with you. Until then...
