The Lesson reunites Mike Hadreas and Kate Wallich for a live music and dance performance inspired by The Piano Teacher, with music by Hadreas and Natural High as its six-minute centerpiece.
Mike Hadreas and Kate Wallich are reuniting for The Lesson, a live music and dance performance inspired by The Piano Teacher. The music for The Lesson is prepared by Hadreas, and the project was commissioned by Seattle Theatre Group. The Lesson follows their 2019 collaboration The Sun Still Burns Here, a project by Hadreas and choreographer Kate Wallich that led to the 2022 album Ugly Season.
Natural High comes from The Lesson and is a six-minute track. It is the first new Perfume Genius music following the 2025 album Glory. One of the co-producers of Natural High is Pascal Stevenson of Fashion Club.
Perfume Genius and Kate Wallich will take The Lesson on tour next year, beginning at REDCAT in Los Angeles from February 18-20. The performance will be presented live with Alan Wyffels and Tate Justus.
The Lesson program includes dates in North Adams, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, London, Utrecht, Dublin, Minneapolis and Seattle.
