CIMF’s Tissages du temps a mind-bending exploration of sound and time

Canberra International Music Festival | Tissages du temps May 2, 2026, Snow Concert Hall, Canberra, ACT There is something particularly satisfying about a program that doesn’t simply present music across time, but actively reimagines it. Tissages du temps (“weavings of time”) did exactly that, tracing a distinctly French lineage across some 300 years, not through historical reconstruction, but through transformation.
