Turn out is highly unknown at this time so pre-registration is encouraged in the unexpected event that the Conference reaches capacity. Participants intending to perform for the first time (see below!) - please mention in the email.
KEYNOTE ADDRESS: A brief welcome by G. Gordon Gritty & mission for this Conference and future Conferences
FIRESIDE CHATS / OPEN DISCUSSION: A chance for all attendees of the Conference to informally discuss, share, listen, etc - journey, inspirations, aspirations, spirit, and more!
EXPERIENTIAL FIRST TIMERS PERFORMANCE: The pinnacle/capstone of the night! Moving from the abstract to the experimental - this is a chance for non musicians to perform (using available instruments) for the first time, to begin their (non)musical journey. With the support and encouragement of fellow conference attendees, play whatever you want, however you want, with whoever you want or don't want. The only request is that this should be your first public performance. Musicians & creatives & nonmusicians who have performed before: if you can - encourage/bring a friend, colleague, whoever you think might be up for it to come through. No pressure at all; admission is FREE for first timers.
