TOPOS is a gathering for listening, exploration, and discovery—a place where musical experimentalism becomes an experience open to all. Join us for five extraordinary productions that invite inquiry and pleasure, provocation and dance.

From country to house, chamber music to noise, TOPOS features the world premieres of commissioned projects by composer-performers Raven Chacon and Sarah Davachi, alongside performances by King Britt, Suzi Analogue, and Myles Ortiz-Green in Liberation Meditations: A Call.

Two rare presentations of Iannis Xenakis’s landmark electronic piece Persépolis, realized by sound artist Micah Silver, and a screening of the documentary Xenakis: Portrait 1971-72 round out the program. A community barbeque open to all celebrates the festival’s final day.

Each festival event becomes its own topos: a charged site of experience and wonder for every listener.
