Mobtown Modern

All In The Game

Wednesday, February 24, 2010 at 8 p.m. @ Metro Gallery

Games have rules; 3 strikes and you're out, no hitting below the belt, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Music has rules too, but at Mobtown Modern we believe that most of those rules were made to be broken. In that spirit, we present a performance of John Zorn's infamous game piece, COBRA, pairing our loyal musicians with some of Baltimore's most exceptional experimental improvisers.

Tickets are $10, general admission and $5 for Contemporary Museum members and students with a valid ID.
