Together Boston is an annual music festival based in Massachusetts that was first held in February, 2010. Its primary focus is to emphasize the unity of music, art and technology and their propagation in the city of Boston. Through a week-long series of educational and professional discussions, demonstrations, installations, screenings and performances at venues around the Boston/Cambridge area, Together Boston attracted around 30,000 attendees in 2014, and has increased its attendance every year as the primary New England area music festival. Although the festival was historically based in and around Boston, its office is across the Charles River in Central Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts.〔http://www.cambridgeday.com/2012/03/30/together-festival-launches-monday-from-base-in-central-square/〕 2014 saw a number of special musical events including Bob Mould playing in Cambridge to celebrate the 10th anniversary of gay marriage, Chicago soul champions The Numero Group visiting Boston's legendary Soulelujah team and the debut of an experimental live lab in Inman Square's LilyPad featuring leading lights of Massachusetts' psychedelic rock community such as Major Stars, Sunburned Hand of the Man and internationally recognized sound designer Keith Fullerton Whitman. Other guests from 2014 included Detroit techno legend Robert Hood, Brooklyn's Mos Def, Germany's Tensnake and Norway's Cashmere Cat, most recently responsible for producing a single for Ariana Grande. In 2013, Together hosted internationally-known musical artists such as Flying Lotus from Los Angeles, Four Tet from London, Crystal Castles and Grammy-nominee Duke Dumont, both from Toronto, Oscar-winner Juicy J with A$AP Ferg, Zomby and more. 2012 highlights included now-popular television star Big Freedia, superstar noise producer (and one-time Massachusetts resident) Oneohtrix Point Never and Album of the Year Grammy-winner Todd Edwards. 2011 and 2010 both included any number of now superstars including SBTRKT, Nico Jaar, Spank Rock, Damian Lazarus and Trentemoller. The music component also focuses on showcasing any number of local musicians from the Boston area (André Obin, Blue Boy Productions, Guillermo Sexo, John Barera, Mean Creek, Ricardo Donoso), and pairing them up with international stars. In addition, the festival spotlights key visual artists and technologists from the city's burgeoning innovation and art community: past artists have included First Night honoree Zebbler, Brian Kane (formerly of Emergency Broadcast Network) and Beyonce-video director Julian Wadsworth. 2013 film screenings included Style Wars and We Are Modeselektor at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. In 2014 they screened I Dream of Wires, a documentary about the modular synthesizer at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. Together Boston has announced their dates for 2015. The celebration begins Sunday May 10 and ends Sunday May 17. ==Mission== The festival's motto, "Music, Art, Technology," underlies its efforts to link new music with all aspects of modern and forward thinking culture via an intellectual slant. The festival seeks to provide more than just a week of music, educating attendees through daytime panels, art exhibitions, and film screenings.〔http://togetherboston.com/about/festival-overview/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Together Boston」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
