A celebration of global interconnectedness, Crossing Sonic Borders will immerse audiences in diverse musical influences, seamlessly creating a tapestry of interwoven sounds. The program includes five original pieces by composers from the Bridge to Everywhere ensemble, with a wide array of influences such as the intricate melodies and rhythmic systems of Hindustani classical music, avant-garde electronics, the syncopation of Mexican Son Huasteco, the dance-like melodies of a Baroque chitarrone, the asymmetrical meters found in Greek and Balkan traditions, the polyrhythms of West African drumming, and the enchanting harmonies of Erik Satie. Come join us for a unique experience that crosses sonic boundaries and creates an interconnected cross-cultural symphony!
