How is spacetime related to music?

Musical tribute poster featuring Leon Russell and Curt Powell.

Fine Arts Building Annex C 10/9/26 7pm 10/10/26 3pm

Free - Donations Accepted

  • Did Leon Russell's musical legacy relate to spacetime, quantum physics, and the nature of reality? Chicago composer, playwright, and performer Curt has some thoughts 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).


City News Cafe March 2026 Excerpts

Leon Russell, the Master of Space & Time

Can the presence of others actually slow down time? Would "10,000 people watching" make a difference?

So Many Songs

Leon played many hundreds of sessions, composing, arranging and accompanying for some of the biggest names in music over five decades.
