live moments – postponed!

hee-seung choi and rob manthey

20 November 2021 - 20 November 2021

After careful consideration, we’ve decided to postpone the upcoming live music/sound evening event scheduled for November 20th to a later date (to be announced). Stay safe and well!

During ‘Live Moments’, Rob Manthey and Hee-Seung Choi will perform their own music and sound which is a result of playful and spontaneous exploration where materials are allowed to come together in unexpected ways.
