Chatter Asks Albuquerque to "Slow Down"

Wed. 8/14 10a:  The contemporary music organization, Chatter, hosts "Slow Down, Albuquerque: Finding Solace in Stillness and Heavenly Length in the Age of Twitter."  The contemplative three-concert series opens on August 15 in the gallery space at the Albuquerque Museum of Art, and continues on August 16 and August 18 at the warehouse-turned-performance-space, The Kosmos.  Spencer Beckwith talks with the Associate Artistic Director of Chatter, clarinetist and composer James Shields.
