A decade of listening to the world’s hush and howl, shimmer and sting. Since 2015, Half Mystic has been a home for music in all its forms. In honour of the symphony we’ve built together, join us for The Long Crescendo, an evening of live readings, revelry, and resonance. Beloved voices from Half Mystic’s past and future will share new and familiar works of poetry and music. Expect multi-genre duets, clinking glasses, raffle tickets—and as always, open palms and open psalms, laughter as part of the bargain, eyes up and homesick for tomorrow. When the final set ends, the mic opens to the Chorus, where your voice joins the next movement of Half Mystic. RSVP here.
