2015-16 Season

Frozen Music: light & music in Aalto’s Library

Concert Series

Third Angle New Music’s Concert Series crafts experiences that are mind-altering by design, including concerts created to work in harmony or dissonance with their environment, wildly divergent repertoire, and a blending of the arts that redefines the genre. Whether intertwining music with architecture, visual arts, dance, theatre, or spoken word, these performances promise to be anything but ordinary.
