Join us for this year's New Music 101 series with The junctQin Keyboard Collective at the Beeton Auditorium, Toronto Reference Library on Monday March 3 2014 from 7 – 8:30 pm.
This is a free event and all are welcome.
The members of junctQin will offer an exciting overview of their collaborative history, and the unique instrumentation they use in performance. The presentation will include score samples, and demonstrations of instruments such as music tables and punch-tapes.
The fourth annual series New Music 101: "Pushing the Boundaries of Sound and Performance" is an exciting and unique opportunity to explore new directions in contemporary music!
New Music 101 is a free public education event, presented by members of the Toronto New Music Alliance (TNMA) with the support of the Toronto Public Library. Hosted by freelance Toronto Star music critic and active blogger John Terauds, the sessions will include engaging presentations that combine discussions, performances, and other demonstrations, in order to highlight different themes in contemporary music while also promoting local concert presenting organizations.
