Still buzzing from tonight’s OverTuned Fest concert. Reimagining Schubert’s “Winterreise” was fearless, fresh, and unforgettable, with stunning world premieres inspired by the cycle by Varis Sirisook, William Hawkins, Jake Rogus, and Zak Mustille.
Massive congratulations to every musician, composer, and our Overtuned Fest staff member. You made something special happen on that stage. 👏🔥
And we’re keeping the momentum going. Two more concerts are coming up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
