We're back! The theme of our 2009 festival is "Environments" - a broad examination of the green, cultural and social environments we live in and the interections (or "ecology") between them. This year's festival features over forty events presented over ten days in over a dozen venues spread throughout downtown Kitchener and beyond. This year's festival could have you spending time listening to a concert of the music of legendary composer Lou Harrison by the Evergreen Club Gamelan (an Indonesian ensemble) following the world premiere of a feature film on his life, grooving to the energetic sounds of Nagata Shachu taiko drumming or the Flying Bulgar Klezmer band, attending a talk by renowned acoustic ecologist and composer R. Murray Schafer followed by a "soundwalk" through the woods, attending the world premiere of new works for local legends Dancetheatre David Earle and the Penderecki String Quartet or observing new and recent sound sculptures by Janet Cardiff, Gordon Monahan, Giorgio Magnanensi and others.
