Session Description
“Compose Your World”
In this time of rapid change and disruption, there lies, in front of each of us, a blank page on which we can compose our future. In music, the composer must not only reimagine what’s possible, but they must also make revisions along the way. This interplay between “moving forward” and “looking back” is what allows the composer’s vision to reach its highest potential. In his music-infused presentation, violinist Kai Kight will explore how individuals can embody this spirit of a composer in order to spark reinvention in their lives and work in the events industry. Audience members will leave inspired to:
–reimagine old habits and routines
–improvise in moments of chaos
–examine past decisions and make adjustments
