Tonal Refraction

Tonal Refraction has the power to heighten holistic awareness of an individual’s perception of tone, empowering new levels of dramatic conviction for players and of participatory pleasure for listeners. That power, put to the test in a pioneering 2018 concert series: Mozart: Modernist, moved the participating musicians to become The Tonal Refraction Ensemble: Artie Dibble, viola/violin; Dave Eggar, cello; Nancy Garniez, piano.  An ongoing series of books, produced in collaboration with artist Cathrin Hoskinson, and videos by David Tecson illuminate works by Mozart, Schumann, Beethoven, and Brahms.  Our goal is to make these multi-media videos broadly accessible, to stimulate creativity unconditioned by educational or goal-oriented circumstances.
