Reception to follow.

Proof of COVID-19 vaccination required for entry and mask use required for the duration of the performance. The event will also be live-streamed and then presented online at a later date for ticket buyers.

Network for New Music Artistic Director Thomas Schuttenhelm sat down with Jan to discuss his compositional practice and the background of his piece Catching Light, which will feature in the program for Intersections. The video includes musical excerpts that provide a preview of the exceptional music that the Network ensemble will perform on February 27!
