Psychedelic Symphony

Trailblazing sounds from rock, funk, Broadway and beyond collide in an orchestral program that highlights the music of Grateful Dead, Talking Heads and Leonard Bernstein alongside new works and striking visuals.

Psychedelic Symphony takes place Friday, October 10 and Saturday, October 11 at The Citadel, where Nu Deco Ensemble opens its 11th season with a genre-spanning celebration. The concert features their newly released Grateful Dead Suite and a Talking Heads–inspired suite, paired with Bernstein’s On the Town, the ensemble’s own Via Ascenscio, and Valgeir Sigurðsson’s Past Tundra, a cinematic evocation of Iceland’s landscapes. Known for its innovative approach, Nu Deco Ensemble brings together classical technique and contemporary influences in performances that reimagine the possibilities of the orchestra.

This event offers limited VIP seated tickets, with general admission as standing-room-only.
