Josh Schmidt, director 

Local percussionist Jason Rodon and friends curate an evening of BIFA- inspired contemporary music that take the audience on a journey through sound and image featuring multimedia composer Yehuda Yannay.

The concert celebrates the music of Jon Welstead and the late Yehuda Yannay, both great mentors and influences to Rodon and artistic director Josh Schmidt. Featuring surreal acoustic and electronic sonic landscapes intermingling with each other in pieces like Im Silberwald, Coloring Book for the Harpist and All in a Whisper, this concert will premiere the last ever piece of Yannay’s, The Janus Effect, dedicated to Jason Rodon.
