Throughout history, humans have been finding ways to revive, rebirth, and reconstruct their favorite artistic practices. Music has been one of the greatest playgrounds for these types of explorations. In acts that both pay homage to the past and push the craft forward, renaissances have revolved around time periods, genres, and even mediums. Join us for an interactive listening party where we take a closer look at some iconic musical revivals, ask how we got here, and wonder where we might go next.
