An Evening With David Sedaris

Ovens Auditorium

Ringdown is a self-described “cinematic electro-pop” duo creating songs that are intricate, textured, and emotionally resonant. Grounded in Danni Lee Parpan’s soulful folk/pop vocals and songwriting and launched into the abstract by Caroline Shaw’s boundary-breaking composition and performance techniques, Ringdown’s music is both intimate and expansive. More than just collaborators, Parpan and Shaw––partners on stage and in life––create songs that inspire love, connection, and reflection. Their unique blend of raw lyricism and avant-garde artistry makes this an experience as stirring as it is unforgettable.
