HEADWINDS featured 25 composers from nine countries, 40% BIPOC, 100% female. The 23-24 concert series at the Old Church Concert Hall received additional performances at a new, informal Sunday morning series at Reed College’s Eliot Chapel called De-Mystifying New Music. In this unique lecture/performance experience, the musicians will deconstruct and de-mystify one or two works over the course of an hour, giving audiences the opportunity to experience a single work multiple times in one sitting. This hour-long lecture performance series was complete with pastries and coffee; and an opportunity to interact with the Fearless musicians (and composers) in an informal and intimate setting.
