What are the games we play every day? Which rules do we follow and which rules do we break? Layering this theme of games and rules onto music, Thread Ensemble presents “Win-Win Situation:” a full-length, an out-of-the-ordinary interactive concert of freshly created musical compositions and improvisations.
