Two more performances of NEXUS:

As part of Concordia University’s series of Branché events, NEXUS is a comprovisational (composition+improvisation) journey that will interpret the 2010 Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences in a unique musical form.

Five musicians, each equipped with a laptop computer, loudspeaker, and “Follow Me” sign, wander on different paths through Concordia’s downtown campus. Connected and inspired via wireless network, the musicians improvise their takes on a complex score by Sandeep Bhagwati, reacting to place, space and pace. Like pied cyber-pipers, they perform intertwined music walks all over campus – until they finally unite all their listeners at a breathtaking location for a final musical ritual.

Performances:

June 1 & June 3

from 17h00 to 18h00

throughout Concordia University, SGW campus & gathering at the Cloud Deck, 3rd floor atrium of the MB building (1450 rue Guy).
