Helado Negro is the project of Roberto Carlos Lange, a producer and singer-songwriter celebrated for crafting compassionate, atmospheric, and experimental pop music.  Across his work, Lange has built a reputation for weaving together deeply personal reflections with broader meditations on the world around him, often balancing themes of vulnerability, hope, and uncertainty with an ever-present sense of curiosity.  His new EP, The Last Sound On Earth (Big Dada, out November 7), reflects on despair, hope, and inspiration against the backdrop of a planet in crisis.  Initially inspired by the question, “What will the last sound I hear before I die be?”, Lange channels frenetic electronics, distortion, and echo into songs that capture feelings of dread, but also the possibility of renewal.  Lead single “More,” accompanied by a video from filmmaker Annapurna Kumar, explores the paradox of hyperconnection and loneliness, while other tracks confront power structures (“Sender Receiver”), protection and cynicism (“Protector”), and the balance between nothingness and possibility (“Zenith”).  Despite the heavy themes, movement and joy remain central to Lange’s practice.  Performing live, he transforms grief and tension into something freeing, asking, “How can I dance to this grief?”  The result is music that never shies away from complexity, but ultimately searches for release and connection.  As Lange frames it himself:  “What is the last sound on earth?  The last sound is love… that’s the sound I hope to hear.”  With The Last Sound On Earth, Helado Negro opens a new chapter, offering listeners music that resonates on both intimate and universal scales—a reminder that even in moments of uncertainty, there’s room for reflection, movement, and love.

Pre-concert reception from 6:30-8 p.m. features live local music, curated bites from Ollie’s Trolley, slices from N.Y.P.D. Pizza, craft beer tastings from HighGrain Brewing Co., and grain-to-glass spirits from Northern Row Brewery & Distillery.

Following nearly two consecutive years of sold-out headlining performances, jazz-pop vocalist, violinist, and songwriter Emmaline brings her upcoming album release show to Memorial Hall. This intimate concert will feature Emmaline’s signature, genre-bending interpretations of Great American Songbook favorites like “Fly Me to the Moon,” alongside brand new original love songs inspired by the timeless romance of the mid-century era.

With lush vocals, timeless melodies, and Emmaline’s modern-retro charm, this will be an elegant evening of romance, nostalgia, and live music made for old souls and modern hearts alike.

Due to Emmaline’s past appearances selling out well in advance, early ticket purchases are strongly encouraged.
