The Tri-Centric Foundation presents a two-day benefit fundraiser event

the most ambitious projects in the ongoing work and legacy of composer
Anthony Braxton, and to cultivating and inspiring the next generation
of creative artists to pursue their own visions with the kind of
idealism and integrity that Braxton has demonstrated thoughout his
five decade career.
