ERDEM & FRIENDS

Immersive Soundscapes

7-8pm

“Like a movie, but just with sound.” Turkish composer and electronic artist Erdem Helvacioglu invites audiences into an immersive world of sound. Known for transforming guitar lines and prepared piano into hypnotic rhythmic structures, Erdem will collaborate live with festival artists for a one-of-a-kind improvisational set unlike anything you’ve heard before.

–or anything you’ve seen. This unique event will take place in the Bowtruss of the iconic KANEKO, in the midst of large sculptural works from artist Bruce Beasley. In this exciting new partnership between Crossroads and KANEKO, we strive to fulfill KANEKO’s mission of exploring the creative process, and promoting freedom in creativity and imagination. It promises to be an experience to remember.

Location: KANEKO

CELLO SPECTRUM

From Raga to Reverb: Hindustani Roots and Electric Loops

9-10pm

A double billing of sonic contrasts and cello virtuosity. Experience a solo set of David Downing’s mesmerizing loop-based compositions followed by a soulful segment drawing on Jake Charkey's deep roots in Hindustani music. The evening concludes with a collaborative finale—two distinct voices blending into one unforgettable sound.

We’re also delighted to partner for the first time with Omaha's iconic BLUEBARN theatre on their iconic outdoor stage, contributing to BLUEBARN’s long-standing commitment to bold and original performances.
