The Stranger

A summer evening in Redmond doesn’t seem like the ideal setting to experience Australia’s majestic worldbeat-goth ensemble Dead Can Dance, but since they rarely tour (last Seattle date was in 2005), it’ll have to suffice. Led by the silken, golden vocal nobility of Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry, Dead Can Dance burnish many eras’ and cultures’ music into gorgeous, moving compositions that make you feel much classier than you actually are. They’re touring behind their elegant new album, Anastasis. (Marymoor Park, 6046 West Lake Sammamish Parkway NE, www.concertsatmarymoor.com, 7 pm, $49-$99, all ages) by Dave Segal
