Critical Sounds Symposium Open Studios: UChicago Students

UChicago composers and sound practitioners present installed works across the spaces of the Green Line Performing Arts Center and Arts Incubator. On Saturday evening, a sequence of short live sets (approximately 15 minutes each) by UChicago students, faculty, and Chicago sound practitioners will take place in the E&A Theater, with works also on display in the foyer.
