Welcome to our Spring 2021 issue of demo.

For the best experience, view this issue from a desktop or laptop.

"The theme of this latest edition of demo is “Spirit”... It is indeed a spirit of energy, curiosity and passion for the transformative power of music that demo captures so well.
Whether you are a long-time friend or a first-time reader, welcome. During the dark and difficult days of the past year, as we have been separated from one another both by public decree and out of concern for each other’s safety, music has continued to unite our spirits, just as it always has. But beyond that, music has become our coping mechanism, our emotional salve, and an ever-present reminder of happier days spent together."

Join us while we explore the different relationships spirit has with us and with music.
