Concessions are available for purchase the evening of the show. It’s not every day you find a Steinway where a tie-dye tapestry might normally hang. But then again, the Grateful Dead were never about predictability. Somewhere between the swirl of incense and the silence of a concert hall, pianist Kristina Marinova has carved out a new space for Deadheads and classical music fans alike. Her new album, THE BUS CAME BY AND I GOT ON, takes the music once jammed out in open fields and smoke-filled arenas and refracts it through the lens of solo piano — trading the roar of the crowd for the resonance of keys, without losing a trace of the soul. The Navona Records release is a sonic tapestry of the Grateful Dead’s music with a devotee-pleasing setlist designed to replicate a Dead concert spanning their inception in 1966 to their award-winning and critically acclaimed three-album Live European Tour in 1972. Kristina Marinova has been described as a virtuoso performer of extreme energy and youthful vibrance. Her clear and precise tone enhances her stormy expressions and performances, full of grace, serenity, style, and beauty. With her reputation as “a feast for the ears” and someone who makes it clear that “music is like a message from God,” Marinova’s just the person for the job, expertly translating mind-melting soundscapes for a single instrument. There will be a brief intermission and a 50-50 raffle drawing.
