Rite of Passage returns with a one-night collision of sound and vision in the vaulted expanse of Central Presbyterian Church. Beneath the stained glass and timber arches, light and tone converge in a shared act of listening: an ephemeral ritual carried by artists at the edge of form and feeling.

Neo Gibson, who records, performs, and produces under the alias 𝟕𝟎𝟑𝟖𝟔𝟑𝟒𝟑𝟓𝟕, makes their first Texas appearance. Their music, defined by unfamiliar texture, melodic rigor, and an idiosyncratic emotional tenor, creates a contemplative sound world that will linger and resonate long after it fades.

𝐃𝐚𝐰𝐧 𝐃𝐗 performs a distilled survey of their extended discography, expanded by a new live piano element, reframing familiar works in an intimate light.

𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐃𝐋 unveils the next chapter in the titular Rite of Passage series. Written specifically for this venue, this set charts a new direction for the Rite sound, deepening the project’s exploration of ritual, space, and collective experience.

𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝 guides us through the inspirations behind their recent release 9 Point Cay, weaving in never-before-heard tracks to be premiered exclusively at this event.

The new audio-visual experience is carried by the precision you’ve come to expect from projection designer 𝐁𝐞𝐧 𝐆 𝐑, newcomer 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐤𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲, and audio engineer Vital Audio. A fine-tuned Danley system is elevated by the cathedral-like acoustics of the great hall, transforming sound into architecture.
