Open Waters Festival '18
Never the same river twice… Open Waters Festival celebrates the flow of new and surprising music. While water brings life, music enlivens life, especially live music. Rivers of improvisation run through many traditions, and we celebrate where these meet at Open Waters Festival of new and improvised music.
Upstream Music Association brings together musicians and presenters of varied facets of contemporary music, each united by being up-river from the main stream, and with a common spirit of exploration of the new and a celebration of the unknown.
We are pleased to present these artists, each different from one another, yet who all share this path of searching.
Five Halifax locations, 20 extraordinary events.
