Graveyard Shift: Colin Stetson

Rain date, Saturday, May 11th.

Graveyard Shift series returns with experimental musician and film composer Colin Stetson, (Hereditary and The Menu). Stetson’s uniqueness lies in his masterful use of extended techniques on the saxophone, crafting an unconventional and evocative sound that defies traditional genres. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in his boundary-pushing artistry in one of New York City’s most distinct stages, The Green-Wood Cemetery.
