THE LISTENING ROOM 7
Updated: May 17, 2021
OSAGE x HKNME
THE LISTENING ROOM presented six editions in 2009-2010 at Osage Soho, bringing together local and international adventurous music makers from the worlds of contemporary classical, jazz, sound art, electronic music and more. 10 years later in the midst of a global pandemic, the needs of the local music scene have changed. THE LISTENING ROOM in its 2020-21 edition aims to be a nurturing outpost for progressive and thought-provoking sonic experiences, presenting a monthly dialogue between audiences and practitioners to explore a wide range of rarely-heard (mostly) acoustic contemporary classical music. In an environment that encourages deep listening and fluid dialogue, performances will be followed by an open workshop for musicians, composers and/or artists, to support the ongoing creation and presentation of new innovative work.
SIGMA
Established in 2010, Sigma is an extension of Osage Group’s activities. The name comes from the Greek letter, Σ. Just as the symbol is used in mathematics to indicate the sum of all operations,
Sigma is a project based in addition and continually provides supplementary programs and services to the Osage Group. Sigma is an experimental platform, allowing it to expand and include artistic and cultural ideas and projects that fall outside the purview of Osage Gallery and Osage Art Foundation.
