Hear sound with eyes wide open in a concert experience unlike any other, when The Joshua Light Show brings its signature visual dimension to the performance of live music. Ranging from the ethereal synthpop of Glasser to the cosmic jazz of The Bad Plus to art-punk pioneers Television and more, the Joshua Light Show supplies the visions to six visionary concerts.

Established in 1967 by multimedia artist Joshua White
, this trailblazing group improvises with optics, mirrors, and colorful oils on overhead projectors, in addition to digital technology, to create the free-flowing shapes and special effects associated with this classic visual spectacular. After a hiatus of over 30 years, The Joshua Light Show re-emerged in the 21st century with a new team of collaborators, who present this unique art form once again, for a new generation of musicians and audiences across the globe.
