New Adventures In Sound Art is co-presenting several special events with NXNE in June.

Presented June 11 to 22 is ELASTIC PLANETS by Instant Places (Ian Birse and Laura Kavanaugh), an audiovisual machine that generates infinitely varied digital paintings in concert with a multichannel soundscape. ELASTIC PLANETS LIVE will be performed on June 10. Follow NAISA’s artistic director, Darren Copeland, on an underwater sound walk through Trinity Square on June 13 in which he will project underwater soundscapes onto the square using a portable directional speaker system.

2020 SUMMER MUSIC GUIDE

Welcome to The WholeNote’s 16th annual Green Pages guide to summer music! To state the obvious, it is not "business as usual" this summer due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, we invited summer music festivals, the usual way, to let you know what they're up to and how they are adapting to the times. We've received the responses listed below, some to say they have cancelled outright, others to say they are offering live-streamed and other online events they hope you’ll tune in to, and still others to say “Like many of you, we don’t know what is coming next yet, but please stay tuned.” So have a look at the profiles presented here, to stay connected to the music you love and the creative artists and individuals who are pivoting to other platforms in these unusual times. Wishing you all a happy and healthy summer!
