Join the COR Museum on June 7 at 6 pm for the kick-off of our Music in the Museum series with The Bipolar Stoics. The concert is free and open to the public.

The Bipolic Stoics are a talented collaboration of three multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Elixa.  With influences ranging from Jim Croce to The Smiths, their compositions evoke gradient tones merging together into dulcet dissonance with melodic hooks that contrast against starkly frantic folk sounds, subverting the artificial construct.
