Halcyon String Quartet will perform “The Future is Here,” a multi-media performance featuring Alisa Amdador, on Tuesday, July 7, at 7:30 p.m., at the Strand Theatre. Tickets are available on a sliding scale of $5 - 25. 

What does our world look like when the climate crisis is no longer a problem we will deal with in the future, but a problem we are solving in the present?

Halcyon is collaborating with singer/songwriter Alisa Amador to present “The Future is Here,” Halcyon’s latest multimedia performance featuring the stories and actions of Maine people who are working on the ground to build creative, regenerative, and resilient communities in response to the climate crisis. 

Combining live music with film, community voices, and stop-motion animations, “The Future is Here” celebrates the ingenuity within our communities through a series of vignettes that tell stories of the concrete actions being taken to mitigate the climate crisis and build communities that are more equal, more sustainable, and more open.

Halcyon’s performers are Josie Davis, Sophie Davis, and Luke Fatora, violins; Colin Wheatley, viola; and Julia Henderson, cello; with guest Alisa Amador, vocals and guitar.

Running time is approximately 60 minutes.

Tickets are on a sliding scale, $5-25. To buy tickets, or for more information, visit www.rocklandstrand.com or call (207) 594-0070.

About Alisa Amador

Alisa Amador made history in 2022 with the first-ever Spanish language song to win the prestigious Tiny Desk Contest. Now, the bilingual singer/songwriter is formally introducing herself with her stunning full-length debut, Multitudes. Slipping effortlessly between Spanish and English and featuring appearances from Gaby Moreno, Madison Cunningham, and Quinn Christopherson, the collection is raw and vulnerable, at once steeped in devastating loss and uncertainty, but also laced with the hope and resilience of a young woman learning to find her voice and stand her ground.
