The Do-Over Music Series, organized by Lisa Mezzacappa and Jordan Glenn, is a monthly series of sound performances presented by a rotating cast of local luminaries and special guests performing creative - improvised - composed - electronic - acoustic music along with live, improvised expanded cinema projections.

This month's Do-Over performance will be a multimedia spectacular with an all-star cast of musicians and moving image artists collaborating on a dynamic, improvised audio-visual collage of sound and image. All proceeds will go to support Shapeshifters Cinema to meet their mounting expenses.
