Aida Shahghasemi and The Lacewings at the Wolf House

Bella Luna Studios at the Wolf House proudly presents an evening of music with Aida Shahghasemi and The Lacewings at the magical, intimate Wolf House.

Time:
Doors 7:00, Music 7:30

Description:
What can voices do? What can womens stories, when we lay them side by side and mix them around, tell us about the way the world is? Can our traditions mingle in the air and illuminate a path forward? Aida Shahghasemi and The Lacewings (Katherine Parent & Sarah Larsson) are Twin Cities-based artists putting their music to the work of creating new narratives, collectively and individually. Drawing from their respective roots and throwing old melodies forward into the future, they weave a new vision of stories and meaning through rich harmony and song.
