New Ways for Old Works, a concert featuring relatively older works written by women for performers–largely percussionists–with electronics. Featuring pieces by composers Norma Beecroft, Susan Frykberg and Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux, the aim of the concert was to showcase previously existing works that have rarely been performed due to lack of technical documentation, poor preservation of media or obsolete technology.
