Composer Deena T. Grossman releases her newest album Becoming Durga with a benefit concert and part at the magical Leach Botanical Garden. The night will feature performances by flutist Camila Oliveira, cellist David Eby, guitarist Michael Mandrell, in addition to Mirabai Peart on voice, violin and viola with Grossman on banjo.
The release is the second portrait album for Grossman and is an expansive sonic landscape of natural and spiritual realms masterfully crafted through a variety of cultural lenses. Utilizing Japanese, Hindu and French influences throughout, the overall effect is that of a coherent, multicultural artistic vision.
Doors open at 6 pm for the 7:30 pm concert Saturday, July 16 on the East Terrace of Leach Botanical Garden, 6704 SE 122nd Ave. Tickets are $30 in advance at leachgarden.org/events or $36 at the door. All proceeds benefit the Garden.
