IN THE SHADOW OF HER LOCKS - a concert of classical and contemporary song exploring hair

What happens when the stories we tell through visual art find their voice in music?

This November, Pickle Underground continues its exploration of hair with In the Shadow of Her Locks — an intimate salon concert bringing together classical and contemporary song, poetry, and visual art.

From beauty and desire to memory, identity, and agency, hair has inspired poets and composers across centuries. Sometimes romantic, sometimes melancholy, humorous, or absurd, these musical interpretations reveal just how much meaning something so familiar can carry.

Soprano SJ Kirsch, mezzo-soprano Taryn Plater, and pianist Anna Sagalova, guided by composer and curator Anna Pidgorna, take us on a musical journey from 19th-century Romanticism to contemporary compositions, with works by Brahms, Schubert, Debussy, Nina Simone, Jocelyn Morlock, and many others.

Presented at The Highbrow, surrounded by the artworks of The Weight of Hair, the concert invites audiences to experience the same subject from a different perspective — through music.

📅 Saturday, November 14
⏰ 7:30 PM

📅 Sunday, November 15
⏰ 2:00 PM

📍 The Highbrow
2–1019 Third Ave, New Westminster, BC

🔗 Tickets: https://pickleunderground.com/in-the-shadow-of-her-locks/

Limited seating in our intimate salon space.

Just Added: Royal City Musical Theatre is thrilled to present Disney’s Newsies The Broadway Musical, April 9–25, 2027, here at Massey Theatre!

Inspired by the hit Disney film and based on the true story of the 1899 Newsboys’ Strike in New York City, Newsies is an exhilarating musical about courage, community, and the power of standing together. When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the expense of the young newsboys who sell their papers, charismatic newsboy Jack Kelly rallies his fellow workers to fight back and demand a fair deal. What begins as a struggle for survival becomes a movement that proves even the smallest voices can make a big difference.

In the spirit of 1899, tickets start at just $18.99 for the first two rows! Royal City Musical Theatre uses demand-based pricing, so ticket prices may increase as performances fill up. Get your tickets early for the best selection and prices, and join us for an unforgettable theatrical experience!
