Who’d think that a museum full of fossils four billion years old would host artists fresh from the underground? Yet Los Angeles’ Natural History Museum’s “First Fridays” series continues to juxtapose the two, making good on its claim of being an “authority on the ‘big picture’ of the planet, the natural, and the cultural world.”

This Friday, they present a powerhouse lineup of the Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Ensemble, Gaslamp Killer, and Anna Wise of Sonnymoon, plus a special DJ set by the impresario of the venerable label Stones Throw, Peanut Butter Wolf. Doors open at 5:30 PM, and though concert tickets ($15) are sold out online, a limited number of tickets will be sold onsite the day of the event.

Perhaps you wouldn’t expect a classically-trained violist to re-imagine a hip-hop producer’s work into a symphony. Yet Atwood-Ferguson did just that, composing and arranging the goosebump-inducing Timeless: Suite for Ma Dukes, an ode to late, legendary Detroit producer J Dilla, for a 60-piece orchestra. But don’t try to stereotype the eclectic composer by that, either—he’s appeared with pop seductress Christina Aguilera and gospel singer Kirk Franklin, recorded for soul icons like Stevie Wonder and jazzmen like Hubert Laws.
