The Tradition of Creation: Mari Kimura, Violin

Described by the New York Times as a “virtuoso playing at the edge” and “a technologically fearless violinist,” violinist/composer Mari Kimura, director of the Atlantic Music Festival’s Future Music Lab, will perform both her own compositions that integrate interactive computer and pieces written for her by other composers. These works will demonstrate how the living tradition of classical instrumental performance continues, deploying the new music technologies available in our time. Kimura will also demonstrate and perform her interactive audio/video works using her latest motion sensor project, µgic.
