Local musician Anna Baignoche releases her first album in several years with a live concert at MOV. Becoming is an ambitious project and seven years in the making. The recording plays to multiple themes and genres close to the artist; an amalgam of acoustic and electronic music, dirt and wires, paint over a photograph, love over hate, pure joy and deep sorrow. Baignoche and her band will be performing songs from Becoming, live for the first time, in our intimate 200 seat theatre. Learn More
