Join the HEAR Now Festival as we open our 8th annual Festival with examples of INNOVATION in the world of audio story-telling. New technologies and story-telling techniques will be highlighted.

Join Val Vigoda and her partner, world- acclaimed composer Ryan O'Connell, in a live Zoom Video Conference as they discuss the intersection of art and technology following the live performance of a song from their award-winning Off-Broadway musical ‘Ernest Shackleton Loves Me’ (a wildly inventive musical adventure telling the story of a sleep-deprived single mom struggling to balance her family and career as a video game music composer) as well as examples of new music they have been creating in quarantine, with Val in Seattle and Ryan in Los Angeles.

This program is made possible in part by the Francis Family Foundation

Be sure to register for the Innovations presentation so you get the Zoom video link to attend. Zoom links will be sent an hour before the event.
