    Lolita Lynne

    Lolita Lynne’s been on a hot streak. In March, the singer and multi-instrumentalist gave the world exactly what it needed: a catchy single (“Existential Dread”) conveying the crushing inner crisis we collectively felt. Soon another woozy dose of emotionally in-touch art-pop followed with “Leave Me Alone,” plying the local’s intimate vocals over bold drum programming. Her return performance inhabits a stunning remodeled church.

      Austin Chamber Music Festival

      The ACMC celebrates its 25th annual Austin Chamber Music Festival outdoors and online this year, presenting performances on the Neill-Cochran House lawn on Thursday evenings through June 24. (Note: For those not currently participating in outdoor events, a livestream option is available to enjoy the concerts remotely in real time.) This year's festival includes the Schumann Chamber Players and Artina McCain; the Artisan Quartet, made up of Austin Symphony principal musicians; the genre-defying Invoke, flutist Ebonee Thomas of the Dallas Opera, cellist Ryan Murphy of the San Antonio Symphony, and violinist Charles Wetherbee of Carpe Diem String Quartet. The Festival finale features former Mother Falcon members Laura and Rita Andrade. "These concerts are SO meaningful to us," says ACMC's artistic director Michelle Schumann, "not just because we get to play again, but because we get to see our audience members again."
      Through June 24. Thursdays, 7:30pm. $30-50.

      Northern-Southern: Baton

      This is a group show by relay, begun in July of 2020 as a method of socially distancing a community in the height of the pandemic: Artists took turns alone in the space, each adding to the exhibition. Now, as it nears its close, the exhibition resembles a community in which work converses and overlaps. With Adreon Henry, Vy Ngo, Dawn Okoro, Leon Alesi, Matt Steinke, Sev Coursen, Stella Alesi, and more.
      Closing reception: Sat., July 24, 3-9pm
