What Brings You In Premiere at Ottawa Chamberfest

Leslie Ting’s “What Brings You In” is an autobiographical, confessional concert with interactive sound installation. Based on interview research and personal experiences with talk therapy, hypnotherapy, dreamwork, sandplay, somatics, and reiki, “What Brings You In” is an exploration, through a series of new music compositions, of when and where our truest selves emerge. This installation/concert invites audiences inward to discover more about themselves through listening, while asking “what brings you in?” to live performance gathering in a communal space. What might we discover together?

This will be the premiere of the interdisciplinary production that's been in the works for over 5 years! The production includes compositions by Linda Catlin Smith, Rose Bolton, Leslie Ting, Germaine Liu, and Julia Mermelstein's "folds in crossings" commissioned for this production.
