LiveStream on Monday, July 21, 2pm
ET via Electric Violin Shop’s YouTube channel!

Don’t miss this opportunity to interact with the featured artists of the Multi-Style String Symposium (Martha Mooke, Dave Eggar, Chuck Palmer and Arun Ramamurthy, hosted by the Electric Violin Shop’s Matt Bell) as they discuss (and demonstrate) their vision of Multi-Style string playing and what participants can expect at the Symposium.”

What Others Are Saying:
“This is such an incredible program. Martha and her colleagues are phenomenal agents of reimagining strings’ traditional roles in music. By pushing into the realms electronica and improvisation, she is all about pushing against form into the exciting world of the new and unknown. I always look forward to the final concert.” – Jason Martinek, Historian and Assistant Provost of Faculty and Staff Development, NJCU
