This exciting, hybrid music event merging classical music, live electronica and DJ sets returns to SF October 2nd with a show at Ruby Skye. Led by composer/DJ Mason Bates,
Mercury Soul uses modern lighting & club production to re-imagine the classical music experience for a new audience in extraordinary spaces, from clubs to concert halls. Will feature some of San Francisco’s finest indie-classical musicians – Del Sol String Quartet, Thalea Quartet, and members of Elevate Ensemble – performing energetic classical masterworks by Stravinsky, Bach, Mendelssohn, Poulenc, Bates, and local composer Gabriela Lena Frank, tightly-integrated between sets by DJ Masonic (Mason Bates), Chicago’s DJ Justin Reed, and guest DJs from the popular local underground dance music collectives Housepitality and Vinyl Dreams.
