Our eclectic group will be drawing inspiration from social networking and viral ideas to create new music. The performance is a response to a clip of influential international artist Agatsuma Hiromitsu that can be seen below

Contributing to the vast collection of instrumental works disseminated on the web, the ensemble continues the dialectical nature of online artistic collaboration.
The performers will demonstrate their mastered skills with solo performances to highlight their artistry and then present selected pieces in various unconventional arrangements. They will take time to display experimental innovations that occur during rehearsal and conclude the evening with a new piece. This tune will be the result of the creative opportunistic provided by our concert programming and will be a joint effort by the entire ensemble.
