Friday at Six Concert Series: Mel Hsu
The Swarthmore College Department of Music presents Friday at Six, a new concert series curated and hosted by composition and music technology professor Quinn Collins. Part performance, part interview, the series focuses on new music and the artists who bring it to life.
The upcoming installment features composer and multi-instrumentalist Mel Hsu. A sonic painter of impossible worlds, Mel often ventures from her classical roots as a cellist into unexpected, cross-disciplinary collaborations. Mel composes and performs for film, theater, dance, and poetry. Her work has appeared on WNYC, at SXSW Film Festival, Jacob’s Pillow, Philadelphia Museum of Art, The New Museum, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Asian American International Film Festival and BAM “Puppets on Film” Festival. She has had the honor of performing alongside Eminem, Mac Miller and Ani DiFranco. Mel is a spreadsheet nerd, a slow reader, and a shameless instigator of kitchen dance parties.
Friday at Six: Mel Hsu will take place on Friday, January 30th at 6pm in the Lang Concert Hall on the Swarthmore College campus. 99 Whittier Pl, Swarthmore, PA 19081. The program is expected to last one hour with a short reception to follow. Free and open to the public, no reservation required.
