Powers is excited to be hosting Labyrinth New England for their 1st Annual Labyrinth New England Festival (LNEF)! The festival is scheduled for March 1-2, 2025. Please save the date!
We are so excited to get this project started and look forward to having you with us in early March. The idea behind the Labyrinth network of organizations, which Ross Daly began in Crete with Labyrinth Musical Workshop, is to build a community of listeners and performers around the modal music traditions of the world. LNEF celebrates our local community, and will include the following events:
Saturday, March 1st: An evening collaborative concert performance by leading local practitioners of a variety of modal music traditions. Performers TBA.
Sunday, March 2nd: An entire day of workshops presented by the previous evening’s performers on a variety of topics related to modal music. These workshops will be followed by a community performance, where students and other local groups can present their music to the rest of our community.
The festival will be inclusive of as many different modal music traditions as we can, given the time and space we have. One of the unique strengths of New England is we already have some fantastic performers, composers, academics, educators, and members of our ethnically diverse population who have dedicated much of their lives to this music. We hope the festival will be a way for us to see who we already have in our local community that can contribute to future Labyrinth New England events.
