Charles Cohen Appears in Philadelphia June 22!

mosc

I've heard Charles Cohen before. He's really great on the Buchla synthesizer. If you haven't seen him before, it is worth the effort. I'm including all of the Rotundra info in this post. The part about Charles is in bold.

I've never heard the other artists; maybe great or maybe not. That's the Rotunda. I must say though, I've never been dissappointed I made a Rotunda event...

Maybe I'll see you there!
