This concert is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
A pre-concert chat with the composers will be offered on the topic: "Musical Sparks: The Delights and Dangers of Combining Technology with Sonic Art." The panel will begin at 6:30 PM, prior to the 7:30 PM concert. Since the atmosphere at the Knitting Factory is very relaxed and convivial (with cabaret seating), we plan an informal event which will include taking questions from audience members.
