The Hidden City Orchestra will perform a two-part concert series, “Order Masquerading as Chaos,” a two-part Collusion of Souls and Saints on October 29 and 30 at two East End venues.

Artists from a host of backgrounds—sound and visual sculptors, dancers, concert pianists, painters and poets were brought together to see what kind of chaos results.

“Then, from that boiling soup of talent, we extract threads of the DNA of the creative process, an ever-more- linked series of serendipitous events, the kind of which have always made HCO greater than the sum of its parts,” said the group in a press release issued last week.

The first performance will be at the Shelter Island Presbyterian Church, 32 North Ferry Road on Shelter Island on October 29 at 8 p.m., followed by a performance at Orient’s Poquatuck Hall, 1160 Skippers Lane in Orient on October 30 at 4 p.m.

The Hidden City Orchestra is a quartet of pianist George Cork Maul, cellist Jeannie Woelker, vibraphonist Fabrizio D’Antonio and Terry Keevil on oboe, duduk and other eccentric wind instruments. They are “an ever-shifting ensemble of musicians, poets, painters and performance artists who perform real-time compositions, live music to silent film, music to spoken word and many other unusual and interesting projects,” according to the group’s release.

Guest performers include concert pianist Paolo Bartolani, painters Alan Bull and Christopher Maiorana, trombonist Bob Hovey, dancer Susan Blacklocke, light sculptor Clayton Orehek, sound sculptors The Smiths and more. There will be tribute to the absence of Orient poet, Billy Hands.

Tickets to the Shelter Island Presbyterian Church concert are $12 and $20 for the concert at Poquatuck Hall. Tickets are available on Eventbrite at http://hiddencityorchestra.eventbrite.com and at the door.
