Guinea Pigs in Bow Ties This special evening features works written within 48 hours prior to the concert start time.

Using the resulting instrumentation, composers are tasked with immediately writing a new piece of music for “guinea pig” musicians. Audience members will be treated to fresh and experimental music created specifically for this event. Free | Tickets Not Required
