Cellist Clarice Jensen

Saturday, November 29, 7 pm

Clarice Jensen is a renowned cellist, composer, and music director. Live, she layers her cello through shifting loops and a chain of effects to explore a series of rich, drone-based sound fields.

Join us as we celebrate the release of Clarice Jensen’s extraordinary new album In holiday clothing, out of the great darkness. 

“With this album, Jensen reminds us how past and present can combine in potent, emotionally charged ways—how Bach’s old school traditions and our new age of electronics can make arresting bedfellows.”- NPR’s Tom Huizenga. 

Listen to the full album review on NPR’s All Things Considered HERE.
