We are hosting an experimental non-traditional classical music event, featuring music that draws from a wide variety of cultures and styles. Removing the barrier between artist and audience, we seek to bring together an eclectic group of artists of all types. Each short 5-7 minute piece will be introduced with points of interest, personal anecdotes, cultural background, and relevance; following each performance, we will lead a small discussion, reacting to what we heard and felt.
