ECH EFFECT ECHO EFFECT

This year we celebrate the great artistic ideas that continue to resonate throughout the ages through music and images—those that, rather than diffusing as they ripple through time, gather strength through repetition, variation and reinterpretation.

Constantly changing and moving ourselves, we are drawn back to the venues where we are enriched by a reacquaintance with art and music that retains its power, no matter how new and different the performance, or how changed our own perception.

Join us for five sets of artistic echoes, where the aural and visual arts respond to each other in sympathetic resonance!
