Events › Closing Time: Meredith Bates

It's Closing Time, our winter music series! Every second Friday throughout the Winter, we will host a local artist as they fill the Central Library's promenade with a live, improvised performance of experimental electronic music during the last hour of the work week. 

Meredith Bates is a distinguished Vancouver-based violinist and composer, known for her unique contributions to the Canadian music scene as both a solo artist and collaborator. With a strong focus on artistic exploration, she has gained recognition through her versatile performances and innovative projects, including her work with acclaimed ensembles such as Pugs and Crows and Gentle Party. For Closing Time, Bates will perform an improvised set on violin and electronics. 

Take a break from the cold and the rain and welcome the weekend warmly with synthesizers, sine waves, and other psychedelic sounds.
