AN ARKESTRA UPDATE


a message from the Saturn newsgroup

Direct from their triumphant visitation to the FMX Festival de Mexico in Mexico City earlier this week, the Sun Ra Arkestra under the direction of Marshall Allen will land the arkestral spaceship at Johnny Brenda's in Philadelphia on Saturday May 25, 2013 for a concert celebrating Arkestra Musical Director Marshall Allen's 89th birthday. Mike Reed's People, Places & Things will open the evening with a set at 8:30 pm and the Sun Ra Arkestra under the direction of Marshall Allen will headline the show with their performance at 9:30 pm. Previous year's Sun Ra Arkestra under the direction of Marshall Allen appearances at Johnny Brenda's have sold out with fans having to be turned away at the door - so it is suggested to arrive early after the doors open at 8:00 pm in order to join the celebration of Marshall Allen's 89th Arrival Day (as Sun Ra would describe it).

After the Philly engagement, the Sun Ra Arkestra under the direction of Marshall Allen will continue its 2013 World Tour with a summer European tour featuring eight concerts in Poland, Spain, England, and Italy. The London stop will be a five night residency at the Cafe Oto, where former Sun Ra Arkestra visits to this jazz club have sold out well in advance of the concert dates - so advance planning is strongly suggested for anyone wanting to catch the Sun Ra Arkestra under the direction of Marshall Allen during this visitation to London.
