Sound Symposium XV
"An International Festival of New Music and Art"
Categories: Dance, Media, Music, Theatre, Visual Arts
Sound Symposium is astonishingly diverse: where else could you learn to write music for ship's horns, watch an artist “perform” with archival radio tape, hear throat singing, see a percussionist improvise to kung fu video, listen to women play kitchen appliances, hear the premiere of a jazz suite commemorating Newfoundland's joining Confederation, watch a world-class piannist improvise on disklavier as a computer projects visual images created as she touches the piano keyboard, or join a barroom improv?
With daytime workshops, evening concerts and outdoor happenings, late night jam sessions, remarkable art installations and our daily Harbour Symphonies, every day of Sound Symposium will be brimming with sound activities — both planned and impromptu.
Since 1983, Sound Symposium has gathered some of the top innovative musicians and artists from across Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada and around the world. They congregate in St. John's to soak up the environment, interact, explore, share and collaborate. The results are magic for audiences and performers alike.
