Technology + Classical Music
Innovation and looking to the future.
“ Being a classical musician is like being a living museum…and when we explore the cutting edge of technology in that light, we’re able to make that museum so much more accessible and current.”
-Mary-Elizabeth Brown, in conversation with Tom Power on CBC’s “Q”
