Prepare for a fully immersive experience during the Concerts Under the Stars series at the Grand Rapids Public Museum (GRPM), featuring a night of smooth indie rock music, performed by Seth Beck on Thursday, Feb. 27. Sit back and experience the wonders of the cosmos alongside mesmerizing music.
Beck, who hails from Grand Rapids, is a singer and songwriter who specializes in indie rock. He creates music as a means of self-discovery by preserving memory with swaying melodies, while writing plain-stated songs that speak truth to innocent moments and the incense of love rooted in the body. Seth’s unique twist on the genre transforms the music into scenes of romantic optimism and complication, allowing listeners to become lost in the smooth, melodic sounds.
Beck’s performance will be accompanied by a live light show on the Chaffee Planetarium dome by visual artist Calvin Garvey. Calvin is pursuing a BFA in Visual Studies at Grand Valley University, with an emphasis in 3D computer animation, and enjoys engaging with listeners’ sense of wonder and awareness in relation to the complexities of the world through their art.
Concerts Under the Stars begins at 7:30 p.m., with Museum doors opening at 6:30 p.m. At each concert, performers will play two sets with a short intermission in between. Refreshments, beer and other beverages will be available for purchase. Tickets are $17, with reduced pricing of $12 for GRPM members. Tickets are available at grpm.org/planetarium, by calling 616-929-1700 or at the Museum’s front desk.
The 2020 Concerts Under the Stars series will conclude with a final concert on March 19.
