Quarantine Sessions #2The Coronavirus Crisis has changed our lives, and we are in the midst of a long period without concerts as we knew them. In addition to the problem of large audiences, the regulations also make it 'virtually' impossible for musicians to get together, to rehearse or perform. However, many technologies and solutions are already available, helping us to find new ways of collaborating and transporting our work to audiences.FREEOpen to the Public[CANCELED] Technology and the Post Human

Traditionally relegated to the private sphere, Women's Labor interrogates domesticity through public engagement and performative spectacle. In this concert, fff ensemble joins Ho in exploring ideas around women's work through aseries of reflections, performances, and sonic/visual tangents.
FREEOpen to the Public[CANCELED/STREAMING] Salt Itinerary | New Op-Era by the Miso Ensemble

Salt Itinerary multimedia opera transcends theatrical and music conventions. A New form of Opera, Electroacoustic Theatre, Musical Theatre, Sound Poetry? Reflecting on Art and Madness, it revolves around languages, words as meaning and words as sound. Both are used as an extension of the body and melted in the construction of the staging as a tangible projection of the resonance of the words through sound and image. Live audio and video electronic processing and diffusion of the voice, poetry, gestures, music and the drawings creates a polyphony of senses and a counterpoint of meanings. Molding sounds, lights, pictures and movements as if being drawn, painted or carved, Salt Itinerary is a powerful, engaging and challenging combination of music and drama by one performer that shapes new grounds in electronic music and breaks boundaries between music, theatre, opera.FREEOpen to the PublicEzra Buchla | Alex Chechile
