Confluence

Confluence explores the enduring--and often surprising connections between three of the most essential aspects of the human experience: art, science, and creativity. A range of stories are told by a terrific array of characters, some well known like Joshua Bell, the artist Nick Cave, and the multi-Grammy winning octet Roomful of Teeth; others will be wonderful discoveries for audiences.

We’ll visit the Louvre and cutting-edge artists’ ateliers, go behind the scenes with leading video game designers, and hear how ancient and modern music technologies equally lift the human spirit.
