About this Event
Since 2015, mixed chamber ensemble Girlnoise has been performing classical, improvisatory, and popular music in pursuit of a deeper connection with themselves, each other, and their audiences. From 16th century motets, to Pauline Oliveros, to indie-rock icon St. Vincent, Girlnoise’s expansive repertoire reaches into all the nooks and crannies from which their most personal influences spring. These influences culminate in original compositions and fresh improvisations which ensure that every performance is a unique and intimate experience for audience and performers alike.
