The first of two evenings of innovative, genre-bending music by improvisational singer, avant-garde composer and bestselling author Tanya Tagaq (Ikaluktutiak, Cambridge Bay, Nunavut). A member of the Order of Canada, Polaris Music Prize and JUNO Award winner, Tagaq curates a special program of compositions performed by and with a number of long-time collaborators including Christine Duncan (improvisational singer and conductor), Jean Martin (drummer and electronic artist), Paola Prestini (classical music composer), and Jeffrey Zeigler (cello). For portions of the evening, Tagaq is accompanied by a groundbreaking Inuit throat singing choir featuring Nancy Mike, Cynthia Pitsiulak, Charlotte Qamaniq, and Varna Marianne Nielsen. Gil Rose conducts the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, with second conductor Christine Duncan.

Tagaq innovates upon traditional and experimental vocal forms, combining otherworldly growls, breathy moans, and ghostly chants with elements of spoken word, punk, industrial, metal and electronica. Her performances are visceral and elemental and as Tagaq has said from the stage "you don't have seat belts, but buckle them in your head."

AWR Music Productions is proud to partner with Sony Music Solutions and MiHoYo to present a dynamic multimedia production: Genshin Concert, featuring the music of Yu-Peng Chen performed by a symphony orchestra under the direction of conductor Eric Roth.

A Traveler from afar steps into the fantasy world of Teyvat and sets off on an endless journey…

Accompanied by soothing melodies, the Traveler must venture alongside the "wind" of freedom in Mondstadt, discover the origin of "contracts" in Liyue, redress the concept of "eternity" amidst a sea of red maple and thunderstorms in Inazuma, witness the rebirth of "wisdom" where the rainforest and desert meet in Sumeru, and explore an all-new world in the nation that reveres "justice.”

Melodies of an endless journey will resound across the world at the Genshin Concert tour, in celebration of the 3rd anniversary of Genshin Impact. Travelers will have the chance to attend in person and – through the creative interpretations of globally renowned musicians – revisit wonderful moments from their journeys through Teyvat from with a brand-new perspective.

Sonic Symphony is an immersive live experience that celebrates more than three decades of music from SEGA’s iconic mascot. From the classic 8-bit and 16-bit tunes to rock and EDM songs, this concert will take you on a musical journey through the colorful world of Sonic the Hedgehog. Relive your favorite Sonic moments, brought to life by a full symphony orchestra. Sonic Symphony will be an electrifying tribute to the music that has defined generations of gamers, old and new.
