House of Scordatura Brings Morton Feldman’s Six Hour Masterpiece to The Old Church on Election Day — a continuous, come-and-go performance of String Quartet No. 2 benefiting the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition

Sonic Sanctuary will be performed in full by the House of Scordatura String Quartet. Feldman’s String Quartet No. 2 (1983) is widely regarded as a modern minimalist masterpiece: contemplative, meditative, and breathtaking in its sense of timelessness.

Audience members are welcome to come and go as they need, for ten minutes or the full six hours. There is no intermission, no fixed seating, and no correct way to attend. All proceeds from Sonic Sanctuary benefit PIRC, whose work supporting immigrant communities in the Portland area continues regardless of the day’s outcome.

House of Scordatura returns to the Hollywood Theatre with a gloriously unhinged night of live music, live theater, and giant-monster cinema: GAMERA VS. ZIGRA.

We’re taking this cult kaiju classic and turning it into a full-contact performance event — part concert, part stage show, part cinematic joyride. A live ensemble performs an original score in tight sync with the film, while onstage performers, theatrical mayhem, and analog wizardry collide with the screen. The score is an original work by Portland composer Justin Ralls, who also wrote the music for last year’s wildly successful Turkish Rambo. Think of it as a love letter to practical effects, rubber suits, and the strange magic that happens when a movie becomes a live, breathing thing in the room with you.

If you loved Turkish Rambo last year, you already know the vibe: high energy, a little dangerous, and wildly fun. If you didn’t: welcome. No homework required. Just show up ready for monster mayhem, musical punchlines, and the kind of communal laughter you only get in a packed theater.

It’s Gamera. It’s Zigra. It’s the Hollywood Theatre. Come for the kaiju carnage — stay for the live score and the beautiful chaos.
