A Night of Grief and Mystery

September 21, 2023 @ 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

$30 – $45

The Miners Foundry is not the organizer of this event.  Please contact Orphan Wisdom with questions.  

The current appetite is for either distraction or distress. These two seem to be in neither business.

A Night of Grief & Mystery combines stories and observations by author/culture activist Stephen Jenkinson, drawn from his decades of work in palliative care, with original songs/sonics by recording artist Gregory Hoskins.

These two Canadian artists have been exploring the intersection of their work for 8 years, across 3 continents, in 3 recordings and 2 short films. They come to the road now in 2023 as they did in the beginning: the two of them, a singer and a storyteller, out into the mystery days.

We are looking for local volunteers to join the welcoming committee: to help with outreach and checking guests in the night of. Interested, please contact me at nathalieATorphanwisdom.com.

Concerts for Turbulent Times they surely are. Not poets, maybe, but the evenings are poetic. The Nights are musical and grave and raucous and stilling, which probably means they are theatrical. Love letters to life are written and read aloud. There’s some boldness in them. They have that tone. These nights have the mark of our time upon them, and they’re timely, urgent, alert, steeped in mortal mystery. They’re quixotic. They have swagger. What would you call such a thing? They called it Nights of Grief & Mystery.
