Uno Lady Sings at the Kennedy Center- JAN 2- (In-Person and Livestream)

Please join me on January 2, 2026, 6pm, in person and live-streamed at the Kennedy F. Center for the Performing Arts, Millennium Stage.

Please share with your friends in D.C. and those who would like to stream the performance. Thank you! Happy holidays and happy New Year!

Arbor Aria is a video and sound installation composed by Christa Ebert that collaborates with old-growth forests. Electronic signals from trees are recorded and translated into musical scores, accompanying an abstract film about the forests. Arbor Aria invites us to listen to nature and remember that old-growth forests are vital, irreplaceable, and in need of our protection.

 

Project Premiere! Show 8/28 at Akron Art Museum + 9/5 at Akron Soul Train for a sound + video installation

I was fortunate to be awarded an artist residency with Akron Soul Train. I’ve been working on a two-part project all year, and the premiere is just a few weeks away.

The first part of the mission was to record my upcoming album. I spent the first half of the year in the studio, and while vinyl production takes time, I hope to have the records ready for you in 2026.

You can hear some of these new songs at a free performance at the Akron Art Museum on Thursday, August 28, from 7–8 PM. The museum is also free to visit that day. [Please register here.]

The second part of the mission begins a new creative journey, merging my two loves: music and old-growth trees.

Arbor Aria is a new project by Christa Ebert (Uno Lady) that collaborates with the forest. Electronic signals from old-growth trees are recorded and translated into musical scores, with synth and soaring vocals carrying messages from ancient forests.

Experience the premiere of Arbor Aria through a video and sound-art installation on Friday, September 5, from 5–7:30 PM, at Akron Soul Train, 191 S Main St, Akron, OH.

This is my first installation ever and I am really excited to share this new work with you. 

Arbor Aria is an ongoing journey that will eventually become a video album. Please join us as we share the first steps of this adventure.

The project’s goal is to help listeners understand that trees are living, aware beings—and to communicate that old-growth trees are irreplaceable treasures worthy of protection.

 

Here’s a video from the last time I sang at Akron Art Museum (2020, so it was not open to the public).

I’m excited to share with you! See you soon!

Ingenuity’s annual Bal fundraiser is an affordable and slightly off-kilter gala unlike anything else in town! Once known as the Bal Ingenieux, the yearly spring event now boasts a different theme with each incarnation, featuring the region’s artists, makers, and creatives while paying homage to Cleveland’s exclusive arts club that dominated modernist arts in the city from the 1910s until the 1940s. The Kokoon Club’s annual “Bal Masque” challenged artistic norms with the most unconventional parties around.

All tickets include event entrance, hands-on demonstrations, small bites & desserts with a cash bar . . . and more. Secure your tickets asap and save! They have a limited number of “Early Bird” Tickets for only $35, and presale General Admission tickets will be available for $45. Day-of tickets will be available for $55. GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!

15th Anniversary of Uno Lady’s First Release – Now Streaming!

Today is the 15th anniversary of the first Uno Lady release, “I Really Like Genetics but I’d Rather Have a Good Time.”

To celebrate, I have released the album for the first time on all streaming sites. Listen on Apple Music, Bandcamp, Spotify, or wherever else you like to listen.

It was originally released as a tape. Here’s a photo of what she looked like. They have been sold out for a long time. If you’re lucky to have one, know I don’t even have one. 

All songs were written and recorded by Christa (Uno Lady) Ebert, 2009. Recordings were mastered by Adam Boose at Cauliflower Audio in 2014 and edited and remastered by Jeff France again in 2024.

Based in the Truth or Consequences, New Mexico; he has released over 80 recordings and tours internationally. Performing solo, in collaboration, and with his Nakatani Gong Orchestra (NGO) project he plays over 100 concerts a year.

With his adapted Gong and handcrafted Kobo bow, Nakatani has developed his own unique instrumentation. A master of new sounds and extended technique; he sculpts a transformative, intense, expressive sound that engages improvised and experimental music while resisting genre. Central to his philosophy of sound is the concept of MA 間, which can be understood as the space or interval between perceptual events. Also performing is local duo Hohenfeld + Hyde-Perry playing a short improvised set with flutes and bass.
