BRIDGES
Episode 6
Edmar Castañeda performing in front of Plexus No. 27 by Gabriel Dawe
“Composing and performing alongside Plexus No. 27 was a truly unique experience. I felt its thousands of threads as an extension of my harp strings, a space where color, sound, and music became one. It also reminded me that we are all connected, one big family sharing this planet, each of us an extension of one another.”
– Edmar Castañeda
