COME AS YOU ARE
VULNERABILITY IN THE CONCERT SPACE
Traditional concert settings can feel formal and exclusive, creating barriers between composers, performers, and audiences. Come As You Are (CAYA) aims to change that by making concert music more open, interactive, and accessible to all. Through storytelling and unique performance experiences, CAYA invites audiences to connect with music in new ways.
