In short: Experience the world premiere of Matthew Sergeant's 'Convenient Approximations.' This card explores a modern musical performance set against the backdrop of one of the world's oldest traditions of free public learning.

Performed by Matthew Jones on April 15, 2008, at Gresham College, this piece was part of an event titled 'The Avant Garde.' The work represents a contemporary contribution to the college's long-standing commitment to intellectual exchange.

Gresham College has maintained a tradition of providing free public lectures since 1597. Today, it continues this legacy by offering approximately five public lectures per week for free download in video, audio, and text formats.
