Beautifully captured in images by Belicia Reinbott, our concert Autumn Rhythms was an afternoon of creative collaboration with local sax-clarinet-piano trio, the Blue Poles. The concert featured six world premieres, a number of which were composed through our mentorship with Topology, and free improvisation, making a truly distinct musical statement.
