A Night at the Museum
Saturday, April 1, 2023
8pm
Metropolitan Waterworks Museum
It’s NOT an April Fools joke! But we are playing a little trick…
We’re so excited to be returning to the magnificent Metropolitan WaterWorks Museum in Chestnut Hill for a program we're keeping a little secret until you come to the show.
The museum’s three original coal-powered, steam-driven water pumps are monuments to 19th century technology and serve as the gargantuan, three-story centerpieces of our evening in the Great Engines Hall. Explore the museum’s exhibits and multitude of perfectly engineered parts that pumped millions of gallons of freshwater a day, all while surrounded by incredible music from some of Phoenix’s favorite composers.
Throughout the night music spanning three centuries will pop up around the museum, transforming your evening into an immersive escape of music and libations in an otherworldly space. We’ve catered the whole program to perfectly match the resonant acoustic that comes from the museum’s mammoth brick enclosure.

To include works by Ludwig van Beethoven, Julius Eastman, Eric Nathan, Caroline Shaw, and Julia Wolfe
