Ariadne sings in an orchestral cover of Aftertouches, by Kara-Lis Coverdale, arranged by Dylan Mattingly and Zachary Ritter, and Particles and Fields, by Andrés Martínez de Velasco.

DAY OF IMAGINATION is an ode to idealism — a space for the presentation of the most thrilling, ambitious, wildest "dream projects" of musical artists from across the world. Curated through the "Contemporaneous: IMAGINATION" open call, which asks creators to share what work they'd most like to be making regardless of traditional constraints on scale and practicality, DAY OF IMAGINATION is an entire day full of these extraordinary artistic dreams.

This inaugural DAY OF IMAGINATION festival features three different sets over the course of September 18th, with massive multimedia world premieres from artists Kara-Lis Coverdale, Brian Petuch, Andrés Martínez de Velasco, and Dylan Mattingly.

This first DAY OF IMAGINATION was initially scheduled to coincide with and celebrate Contemporaneous's 10th anniversary, and while the pandemic pushed back its presentation by a year, we are overjoyed to celebrate with you now – in our eleventh year — the limitless capacity of imagination.

Join us for this joyous day of the most extraordinary music and art you've never heard.
