The adventurous ensemble, wild Up, has been called “Magnificent” by the Los Angeles Times and "...irresistibly exuberant..." by the New York Times. In wild Up’s "Future Folk", it rewrites the rules of chamber music and blends the sounds of the Velvet Underground and Moondog into a sonically beautiful experience.

Straight from several years of sold-out runs, At the Illusionist's Table is the latest marvel curated by Convocations from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe—an unforgettably exquisite sensory experience with Illusionist Scott Silven—combining a gourmet dinner, wine, conversation, and wonder that Glasgow's The Evening Times said "transcends art and performance."

As the 2017 winner of the American Pianists Awards Classical Fellowship, Petersen becomes the APA's latest rising star to perform at Purdue, joining such contemporaries as Sean Chen, Eric Zuber, and Sullivan Fortner. Petersen was featured on the PBS special From the Top at Carnegie Hall and since gone on to graduate from Harvard and received a master's degree from Juilliard.
World Without Us—an exhilarating monologue—is the latest visionary work from Belgian theatre collective Ontroerend Goed. In it, humans have suddenly, vanished—freeing the planet from traditional rules and orders, and prompting eons of biological change. Neither a political statement nor a parable meant to petrify us, World Without Us instead muses on a profound ode to human consciousness.
