Healing Force of the Universe, Pasadena

In Sonic Dreams Presents... **Brendan Eder Ensemble** is a genre-bending ensemble of woodwinds, drum set, and bass based in Los Angeles. Brendan’s latest album THERAPY charted at #6 on Billboard’s Crossover Classical chart and was featured in The Guardian’s “Best Albums of 2023 So Far.” The ensemble will be performing new works and compositions from *THERAPY*. **Kennebec** is the creative vessel of composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Eric Phillips, whose work delivers a lush, boundary-pushing symphonic blend of globally inspired American chamber-folk, ambient jazz, neo-soul, new age, and alternative hip-hop. Following collaborations with artists such as Samuel T. Herring, Sudan Archives, Yazz Ahmed, and Alfa Mist —and working on soundtracks for acclaimed projects like The Holdovers and Barack Obama’s Netflix series Working—Phillips returns with The Water Wheel (out November 7), a conceptually rich third album exploring impermanence, love, and the cycles of time. The record is both a cathartic celebration of life and a soothing balm for turbulent times. Doors at 8 PM $20 adv + DICE fees / $24 at the door ($15 for Initiate members, $10 for Sponsor members, $0 +1 for Patron members, www.healingforcerecords.com/memberships)
