Imagination Sessions is a new online community initiative from Contemporaneous. Presented over Zoom in a participatory community format and moderated by Contemporaneous, every Imagination Session brings on incredible guests from disparate walks of life that foreground, in one way or another, the imagination of the future — from composers to theater directors to politicians. Taking place on the first Friday of every month, each Imagination Session is unique and features a different topic and group of presenters. Every session offers you the chance to be a part of the conversation, ask questions, or just listen and be part of the community. Through this series of discussions, presentations, and performances, the Imagination Sessions build a vast and diverse fabric of perspectives towards a grand exploration of imagination and creative life in the world of today and tomorrow.

The sixth Imagination Session on July 2nd at 7:00pm EST will continue the series with a discussion with some of the composers and arrangers behind the music for our upcoming concert, After the Storm! Join Contemporaneous for this fifth Imagination Session and take part in this life-affirming conversation and gathering space as we look together towards the imagination of the future.

Imagination Session Five will feature fingerstyle guitarist Yasmin Williams, composer Alex Weiser, and composer-arrangers Lucy Yao and Zachary Ritter.

This Imagination Session is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature, and by public funds from The New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, and support from the Aaron Copland Fund for Music, New Music USA, Pacific Harmony Foundation, and the Peter S. Reed Foundation.
