MCA Stage, Edlis Neeson Theater

The Museum of Contemporary Art is one of the coolest places to catch badass modern ensembles like ICE and eighth blackbird. Both have slotted must-see gigs here in the upcoming season, with ICE's world-premiere chamber opera by David Lang and 8BB's exciting collaboration with Nico Muhly and Bryce Dessner in 2013. When you're done, wash yourself in the warm glow of Dan Flavin neon. This is a museum, remember.
