Is New Art Music a cyborg? Technology - from creative amplification to interactive computer soundscapes - brings new strength to the most human of expressions. This program spins haunting moods from three turntables, unexpected percussion instruments, and urban rap embedded in a cushion of strings, blending roots and the never-before imagined.
The Chicago Fluxus Ensemble, led by original Fluxus artist Simon Anderson, will stage performance pieces throughout the building before the concert; arrive early for a jolt of the unexpected!
