Mobtown Modern

Home Grown: Alexandra Gardner

Wednesday, February 3, 2010, 8 p.m. @ Metro Gallery

She may look like the sweet and innocent girl next door, but Washington D.C.-based composer Alexandra Gardner pens music that definitely makes the boys shake in their boots. In a language distinctly her own, Alexandra seamlessly melds the often disparate worlds of acoustic and electronic music. Tonight Mobtown Modern presents a retrospective of Alexandra's compositions since 2003.

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