CONCERT
Lowland Hum

Daniel and Lauren Goans, who together create Lowland Hum, are not your average duo. The husband-and-wife team creates an immersive experience for audiences through the combination of the performance of their own songs, audience Q&A sessions and the creation of improvisational songs about the day. Not only do they write and arrange their own music, but they also incorporate visual arts into their performances to reflect the sounds of their music.

$20+ Friday, 7:30 p.m., Museum of Fine Arts, 465 Huntington Ave., Boston, mfa.org.

ART
Daniela Rivera

Daniela Rivera’s 2015 Traveling Fellowship from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University inspired her latest installation The Andes Inverted. With materials, images, and sounds from Chile’s Chuquicamata copper mine, Rivera explores the mine’s troublesome impacts on society and introduces a paradox with the joy the mine provided miners. “Their labor is both productive and destructive,” Rivera said in a statement, “the self-sabotage is the complexity of the place.”

$25 (price of museum admission), March 4 though September 17, Museum of Fine Arts, 465 Huntington Ave., Boston, mfa.org.
