Strategy of Lakes is a concert series to support a tacit network of experimental musicians and composers working in the New England region, with a particular focus on New Haven and Hamden as a central hub of activity. The interests are diverse - ranging from homemade instrument building, birdsong, social practice, dead media, and ritual performance - but the artists share a perspective unified by geography and spirit of independence, often sharing their work through self-publishing and semi-private performances conducted, after hours, in homes, cafes, galleries, and bookstores - largely all within a 200-mile radius.
This series takes place once a month, from 6 PM until 7:45 PM at the Brundage Community Branch of the Hamden Public Library. Each event focuses on a specific composer or project and consist of a performance and a Q&A.
