Tarot takes center stage in a one-of-a-kind evening that blends live music, mysticism, and storytelling into an experience you won’t want to miss. Surrounded by the velvet curtains in the Crosstown Arts Green Room, ARCANA, a solo horn concert, unfolds as a ritualized communal tarot reading and a whimsical lecture on the history and meaning of the cards. French horn player Leander Star leads the night, featuring cartomancy by Leander and works for solo horn by Gilson Santos, Nate Kessler, Sofia Coman, Trygve Madsen, Charlie Aveon, Alice Gomez, Daniel Grabois, Rian Edwards, Shanyse Strickland, Tommi Hyytinen, and Leander Star. Wondering what to expect? Let the cards reveal it to you!
As a founding member of the avant garde wind quintet The City of Tomorrow, Leander Star has been at the forefront of modern horn performance and has guided the ensemble into new dimensions of programming—producing seamless concept concerts with lighting effects and creative movement to enhance the audience’s experience. In the 2022–2023 season, Leander designed and choreographed their show, Waves, Breaths, and Dead Cities—a meditation on music and isolation during the global pandemic—premiered by Crosstown Arts in Memphis, TN with video by filmmaker Breezy Lucia and set design by Celeste Von Ahnen.
