Seven Miniatures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Discover the groundbreaking Sound.colLAB project, a celebration of disability and neurodiversity through music, in partnership with Xenia Concerts (TO) and the National accessArts Centre. Seven talented neurodivergent artists collaborated with nine professional musicians, including renowned composer Bekah Simms and the award-winning Rolston String Quartet, to create original miniature movements for string quartet and accompanying electronic tracks. This innovative project, which began in November 2021, introduced participants to composition through workshops and transformed audio recordings of sentimental objects into captivating musical scores.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
