Calendar Event: May 15, 2010

The Pocono Skies festival is one of the nation's premiere events for new electronic music. Local musicians will join artists from around the country for two full days of concerts, with a focus on innovation, collaboration, and experimentation. Musical styles will cover a broad spectrum, guaranteed to be creative and original. State-of-the-art visuals will accompany the concerts, for a stunning multi-media experience. The musicians employ a wide variety of exotic (and conventional) instruments, from synthesizers, theremins, and circuit-bent devices, to unique creations of their own design. The festival includes introductory seminars on synthesis and the history of electronic music. There will also be two special collaborative sessions that give diverse artists the chance to work together to create new music just for this event. Tickets are $15 for one day, or $20 for two days. All ages welcome.
