‘Music + computers = happiness’ for Edmonds Community College music students who blend these two mediums for ‘Musaic,’ June 8

Lynnwood, Wash. — Musaic, 7:30 p.m., Friday, June 8, showcases talented students in the Edmonds CC Digital Music Program for an innovative multi-media performance presented by the Edmonds CC Music Department and the Arts, Culture and Civic Engagement initiative on campus at the Black Box Theatre in Mukilteo Hall, 20000 68^th Ave. W, Lynnwood.

Musaic is a free event and open to the public, with a $7 suggested donation to support music scholarships.

This year's concert performance features student musicians interacting with computers in various ways.

“The Edmonds CC Digital Music Program prides itself as being one of the most exciting, advanced, and forward-thinking community college programs in the country,” said music faculty instructor, Dr. Nick Sibicky. “Musaic is the perfect opportunity to experience this overflowing creativity and ingenuity.”
