Camarada Revives the (almost) lost tradition of

Mail Art

With the Beatles Mail Art Show


The Chamber Music Ensemble Camarada presents flute and guitar music from the Beatles to Rhavi Shankar, in conjunction with another call for Mail Art

The vibrations of blown reed and plucked string are fundamental to the human musical experience – so much so that every culture has created music with these elements. The Western flute and guitar will be our guides on a tour of this music, across the continents and through the centuries.

To celebrate George Harrison’s enormous contribution to the success of the world’s most famous group, Camarada will present a display of Beatles-themed “mail art” – postcards and other works of art mailed sans envelope with the good-natured support of local post offices.

Submission Deadline: January 17, 2005
