DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Groupmuse\nMusicians: Miki Sawada\n\nFollowing on the
  transformational success of our first two Massivemuses at Claymont -- a g
 lorious 340-acre historical estate 70 minutes outside DC and Baltimore -- 
 the potential of this incredible place as a gathering point for the Groupm
 use community and beyond has crystalized: **Renewal through earth-care\, m
 usic\, and ritual.** And we're ready with our next offering.\n\nAs for the
  music -- virtuoso pianist iconoclast **Miki Sawada** is coming through fo
 r a stop on her "Gather Hear West Virginia" tour\, where she pairs classic
 al warhorses by **Ravel**\, **Scriabin**\, and **Beethoven** with a new wo
 rk entitled "*A Kind of Mirror*" that combines classical music with partic
 ipatory theater\, reflecting her desires to make classical music more imme
 rsive\, personal\, and democratic. The music for solo piano and electronic
 s\, newly written by **West Virginia-native composer Brendon Randall-Myers
 **\, combined with standard classical pieces\, will act as the pillars of 
 the performance while audience members are invited to the stage to follow 
 a theatrical prompt that inspire spontaneous poetic storytelling. \n\nAs f
 or the Earth-Care\, **we'll be spending the day Saturday planting out a fo
 od forest** alongside the riverbank on the property. Folks will get the ch
 ance to learn about riverbank ecology and edible landscaping as we get our
  hands dirty planting perennial food for future generations. \n\nAs for th
 e ritual\, with **Halloween and the Day of the Dead upon us**\, we'll be h
 onoring our ancestors with an altar to those who came before us. So bring 
 a photo of a family member\, dear one departed\, or ancestor to add to the
  display. And to top it off\, this concert will be costume-friendly\, so b
 ring a costume if you please!\n\nWe'll finish the night with a Contact Dan
 ce jam and\, of course\, campfire good times. \n\n**Tickets to the perform
 ance and after-hang are $20**\, but we're gathering a group of 100 volunte
 ers for the day of tree planting\, so if you want to join that party\, **y
 ou'll be able to come to the whole weekend for free**\, no ticket needed! 
 **Just reply to sam@groupmuse.com if you're interested.** \n\n**Folks are 
 welcome to stay over Friday and Saturday nights** -- and October is famous
 ly West Virginia's finest month for tourism\, so we hope you make a weeken
 d out of it!
