After a long sabbatical in 2023, The Blank Canvas Ensemble, based in Liverpool, returns.
This session is for musicians to meet new people and play music.
It is also a concert an audience can witness and listen to.

50:50 is an ensemble music made in the present moment. The Listener, the musician, cannot predict the emergent properties of sound and personalities that 50:50 supports. It is mutual and symbiotic. It is a performance forged in the air that it moves.

Launched in May 2020, The 50:50 Online project, The Blank Canvas Octet, continues to meet weekly on Zoom.
