Sat./Sun. Feb. 26/27- Music across borders, in more ways than one.

Thollem Mcdonas is hosting a workshop on a new concept for conduction. From his work with Estamos Ensemble in the U.S./Mexico and his workshops on listening and large ensemble improvisation, Thollem continues with Fronteras Assembled: structured improvisations based on the social/political dynamics that all the various situations of geo-political borders create. These are musical meditations on real-life situations that are constantly affecting the way we perceive and interact with our fellow human beings within and across the borders of the world. They are also structures that create unique musical challenges for large ensembles especially in an improvised setting that can potentially lead to fresh discoveries of music-making and relationships among individuals in an ensemble.
Open to all, whether they play instruments or not. Spaces are limited. To register, please contact press@highmayhem.org
