Expect a daily dose of new and experimental music and sound works from an international collection of composers and performers. Vocal and spoken word works, electro-acoustic compositions, sound installations, video and performance pieces round out the schedule of one of the most daring new music festivals in the country. Nightly live performances are preceded by open gallery hours, extended specially for the festival. Attendance by many out-of-town composers, artists and performers will create an unprecedented critical mass of new music and experimental sound practitioners at Subtropics.

The festival opens on Thursday, February 24th at 7pm, with an exhibition of cutting edge sound installations, SOUNDS IN SPACE: Works from the Diapason Archive curated by Michael J. Schumacher of Diapason Gallery in New York City, including Tom Hamilton’s London Fix, a sound installation featuring music that changes with the price of gold and followed by a performance of E.A.R. UNIT, from Southern California.

Other festival highlights include jamJam Strawberry, an evening masterminded by Miami artist Edward Bobb, sound & concrete poetry performed by Be Blank Consort, a program of videos curated by Seth Thompson, Philadelphia-based electro-acoustic duo, Toshi Makihara & Jim Meneses, the Florida premiere of the Subtropics’ commissioned Mathematics of Resonant Bodies by John Luther Adams performed by Steven Shick and Transfers, a manipulation of a real time taxi ride by Florida artist Matt Roberts. The Subtropics 17 Marathon Closing Concert, a raucous culminating festival event, will occur Saturday, March 5th from 7pm - 11pm.

The Dorsch Gallery’s Subtropics Café will provide an informal gathering place for participating artists and local artists to get to know one another and create dialogue. The Café is located right in the midst of many festival activities, and visitors are welcome to attend sound checks and to have a behind the scenes look at some of the most innovative sound works being created today. Café hours are 11am – 4pm Wednesday through Saturday starting Friday, February 25th, and also Monday and Tuesday, February 28th and March 1st from 7pm - 9pm.

WPS1 ART RADIO

This is streaming internet audio out of New York, presenting chats with artists, discussions of all aspects of the visual arts, as well as poetry, music both strange and hip, and God knows what else. It's what NPR should have been. VPS1 was the official radio station of Art Basel, and they are still running their talks with the artists, collectors, dealers, writers, curators, musical performers and museum directors who work in or visited Miami for that show and other reasons. You'll find it mesmerizing. You can also go directly to pre-recorded interviews by their Miami correspondent, Jill Spaulding. She tends to fawn a bit - she sounds like a finishing school girl interviewing Cary Grant, and other interviewers have that Berkshires habit of a combination of breathlessness, innocence and lack of emotional input - but if you find yourself fascinated by the hot Miami art scene, you'll like the little insights you pick up here. We find the station mesmerizing. Give it a shot - they broadcast the same material every day for a week, so you can always pick up what you miss. Online 24 hours a day.

DIXIE HIGHWAY UNCOVERED3

According to the magazine Palm Beach Cottages & Gardens, we here at Palm Beach Premium are not the first to discover Dixie Highway. Jeez. For ten years, the Young Friends of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County have staged an Evening on Antique Row - a number of galleries will stay open late and provide food, wine and music. We're going to go to find out what they've discovered, so we can find out what's left for us.

The 3300-3900 blocks of South Dixie Highway
West Palm Beach
Check-in at 3700 block
