Convergence Listening Party
Join us for an evening celebrating Will Schneider’s new album, Convergence!
“Convergence” is an album celebrating the human experience and focuses on storytelling as central to the universality of that experience. Taking imagined scenes from prehistory the album reflects on one’s self-expressionism, our relationship to the world around us and the development of community this album paints with emotive statements reflecting on the shared experiences of humans both now and in the past.
The deluxe version of the album expands these ideas into an interdisciplinary exploration – incorporating poetry written by Hailey Currin in place of traditional liner notes as well as artwork by JaeEun Schermerhorn reflecting on each composition as well as a few bonus tracks. The deluxe version will only be available as a physical copy.
This event is in partnership with Red Bird Sylvania, an organization forstering connection and economic growth through the arts, creativity, and community in Downtown Sylvania.
