Medford musician Glenn Dickson presents his 30th live solo performance of "Dreams and Meditations" performed on clarinet with electronics. Meditative and cathartic, pensive and emotional, Glenn expands the warm sounds of the clarinet with live digital processing to create music that ranges from intimate whispers to lush symphonic layerings, creating a sensual experience which takes you on extraordinary sound-mind journeys. The performance will be available for public viewing via YouTube; visit Glenn's website for the link: https://glenndicksonmusic.com/shows
