A concert exploring different types of audiovisual relationships between living and pre-recorded music, and live and pre-recorded video.

At the third day, Soprano Clare Lesser and pianist David Lesser are joined by guest cellist Laura Chapel for a trio recital featuring world and regional premieres of works by Previn, Rorem, Lesser, Tavener, and Wyttenbach.

And at the last day, Saxophonist-clarinetist Emil Sein mixes music, dance, film, and interactive technology in this innovative contemporary concert, developed in collaboration with acclaimed performer/choreographer/installation artist Kiori Kawai.
