Greetings!

The Holiday's are upon us and December is jammed packed full of
opportunities to envelope your ears with the otherworldly sounds of the
bowerbird series. And while December is our busiest month of
programming ever, each event is absolutely singular in its scope,
presentation, and aesthetic, and offers a highly curated vision of the
sonic states available to the inquiring mind. This month is
highlighted by the debut of a new partnership with LANDMARKS
CONTEMPORAY PROJECTS, new venues like the POWEL HOUSE and the PHOTO
WEST GALLERY, debut performances by internationally renowned
improvisers ANDREW DRURY, WADE MATHEWS, DAVID GROSS, and BHOB RAINEY,
an evening of dance installations with PIMA GROUP in the old sanctuary
of the Broad Street Ministry, and increased programming of experimental
and avant-garde composed music including works by IANNIS XENAKIS and a
ground breaking work by RAVEL. Please come and support
Philadelphia's premier series for experimental music.

Thanks,

Dustin Hurt
executive director, bowerbird
