Southwest Collaborative Music Convergence 

Please join us at the Coconino Center for the Arts to celebrate the 10th anniversary season of the interference Series with the opening event, the Southwest Collaborative Music Convergence, a one-of-a-kind experience including three days and nights of concerts and presentations in the theater, gallery and around the outside of the CCA. Along with co-director Thollem McDonas, we have invited 17 individual musicians from around the Southwest to create unique sonic experiences in response to the spaces, artwork in the Center, and the times we are living in, all through the perspective of the Southwest. We are grateful for the opportunity to create together over the Labor Day weekend with artists who have spent their lives honing their craft through collaboration with others, and excited to share it all with the community. 

 

The Convergence is an extension of a concert held Feb., 2023 in Tucson that Thollem curated as part of the Peaceful Sky Benefit (www.peacefulsky.us). PSB was organized in order to raise awareness of the increasingly dangerous exercises the U.S. military is conducting in the southern desert. Based on the enthusiasm of the participants and the audiences, it became clear that the Convergence needed to happen again. The artists for this year's Convergence include most everyone who participated in Tucson as well as a handful of local musicians. See/hear you out there!
