In this listening session, we’ll hear pieces in which what matters isn’t tradition or genre, but the constant search for new forms of expression.

LISTENING TO RECORDS is listening to music following a pre-planned playlist. We listen to high-quality records played from vinyl records or high-resolution digital files—this allows us to experience the music’s unique emotional depth, appreciate the nuances of the performance, and immerse ourselves in the depths of this music.
