Grizzly Bear and Final Fantasy to Perform with Brooklyn Philharmonic
On February 28, Grizzly Bear and Final Fantasy will perform a joint show at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. To make it (potentially) much better, both acts will be accompanied by the Brooklyn Philharmonic, led by conductor Michael Christie. Final Fantasy’s Owen Pallett will handle his own arrangements; Grizzly Bear will receive help from Nico Muhly.
Coming up this weekend on October 17 at the Horticultural Society of New York, together with Zach Condon of Beirut and Nico Muhly, Grizzly Bear will be performing at a bingo party to support the Obama-Biden campaign.
