Ceiling Spirits w/Tontine Ensemble & Nicholas Elert (all-ages, 8pm)

Mario Quadracci can relate to the needle in the haystack with Ceiling Spirits, his musical project. “As luck would have it, a well-known record producer stumbled upon a video of one of my shows at Shank Hall on YouTube.” Quadracci says, “He suggested we make a record.”

The journey led to recording sessions in Ireland with 21 of that country’s best string players handpicked from its premiere symphony orchestras. The album, released in 2018, was produced by Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode, Wire, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) and mastered at Abbey Road Studios. This show will be the first time Quadracci performs the album live.
