Mount Ida Preservation Hall – Troy, NY
Alternatives is an immersive, multi-disciplinary showcase bringing together a dynamic group of artists working across sound, performance, and visual media. The evening features improvisation, song, harp and voice, poetry, theater, and projected works designed to create a layered experience that invites exploration, reflection, and connection.
At the center of the program is Pigbutchering, an improvisation and song-based ensemble led by composer and performer Eddie Jowels. Rooted in a belief in the power of imagination and wonder, Eddie’s work spans experimental improvisation, classical performance, and contemporary genres, drawing from a wide-ranging career that includes performances across Europe and New York City, as well as collaborations with numerous ensembles and artists throughout the region.
This showcase highlights artists who move fluidly between disciplines, offering a program that is both expansive and intimate; blurring boundaries between forms while creating space for shared moments.
Join us for an evening of creative exploration and live performance in one of Troy’s most unique historic spaces.
