How is spacetime related to music?

THIS IS A FREE ENTERTAINMENT EVENT, NO TICKETS OR RESERVATIONS NEEDED.

Enjoy the pastries, coffee, and laid back ambience at CITY NEWS CAFE Saturday March 7, 2026 from 1:30-3pm and listen to Curt Powell perform the music of Leon Russell, dubbed "Master of Space and Time" by his fellow musicians.

Did Leon's musical legacy relate to spacetime, quantum physics, and the nature of reality? Chicago composer, playwright, and performer Curt has some musings on these questions and more. Disclaimer: Curt is definitely NOT an expert on physics, just some random thoughts and weird quasi-science rabbit holes to explore. Nothing to debunk, just singin' and speculatin'.

This event features music by Leon and some of the people he influenced (including Curt) and musicians who collaborated with him (not including Curt, more like Bob Dylan and George Harrison).

Come on by and check it out! Have a truffle and a cup!
