Exploring the Mysteries Within
Third Angle’s 22/23 Season takes you on a journey wilder than ever before, across genre-bending music, through boundary-defying venues, and beyond groundbreaking immersive experiences to explore the ultimate unknowable frontier—the human mind.
We’ll touch the thin line between reality and psychosis, deromanticize and destigmatize artists’ mental health challenges, heal through collective creation, and confront long-held prejudices against people with visible and invisible disabilities.
Subscribe today to join Team 3A and explore the mysteries within. We’ll see you on the other side…

3A and Beaverton’s stunning Patricia Reser Center for the Arts co-present Caroline Shaw and Sō Percussion as they perform music from their recent album Let the Soil Play Its Simple Part. Audiences will hear echoes of ABBA, James Joyce, and Mother Earth herself, then experience “all the things you aren’t supposed to do to string instruments” in Julia Wolfe’s percussion quartet Forbidden Love.
1000 Airplanes on the Roof
@Evergreen Museum
May 20 & 21, 2023 @ 8:00pm
In a once-in-a-lifetime event, 3A performs composer Philip Glass’s one-act sci-fi melodrama beneath the towering Spruce Goose’s tail, commemorating the 75th anniversary of its lone 26-second flight. Set in NYC, the sole character, “M,” recalls encounters with extraterrestrial life forms. Are the surrealistic visions haunting him an accurate recollection of an abduction, part of a drug-induced nightmare, or the beginning of a mental breakdown? M mirrors builder Howard Hughes’s own mental battles at this nexus of the fragile mind and sky.
