Listening Hours with International Anthem

We're pleased to invite you to join us at The Land School on the third Thursday of every month from 6 PM to 9 PM, as our creative partner, International Anthem, hosts Listening Hours sessions with their team and special guest artists.

This Thursday's session is another TEST PRESSINGS iteration where the IARC team will review test pressings of new, upcoming, as-yet unannounced releases, straight from the vinyl manufacturer to the turntables in A Listening Space. Be a part of the review process, analyze and discuss quality in an open forum, and, perhaps most importantly, be the first to hear new upcoming IARC releases in an intimate, high-fidelity listening environment.

We look forward to listening with you.

Please note that this program will be presented as an intimate listening experience, and space is limited. Tickets are donation-based with a suggested donation of $15 and a pay-what-you-can ethos. Every dollar directly supports artists and ongoing music programming at The Land School.
