Aimee Argote of des_ark is gonna be in North Carolina just long enough 
to renew her "local musician" card & then it'll either be back to Philly 
or back out on the road, so catch her while you can.

The big draw here is composer/percussionist Lukas Ligeti (Tzadik 
Records), who has had commissions performed by Bang on a Can, Kronos 
Quartet & others. He's playing the "marimba lumina" on this tour.
