THIS YEAR'S EXPLORATORIO
|
“There is nothing new under the sun”. . .
NEO’s 2023 thematic launch point is that of Recurrence, a deliciously, inspiringly cyclical cocktail of philosophical and poetic threads that unravel into one another over and again. Fantastically, the conversation around recurrence tends to repeat on itself quickly and often. As soon as we get our heads around part of it, we lose sight of the rest. Short of absolute acceptance, which has historically led to some interesting and often disastrous outcomes, recurrence is a concept that doesn’t settle well, and therefore is well-suited for creative expression. Music has so many opportunities for exploring and expressing recurrence, and we are thrilled to welcome you to join us as we delve into this revolving emotional space. In non-Euclidean geometry, parallel lines meet at infinity, and that’s where we look to find you, infinitely at NEO 2023! |
