What is Masonic Avant-garde?
“Masonic Avant-garde” was composed by Joscar Poerschke and is a Piano Concerto consisting of 10 movements specifically to be played in conjunction with the three Masonic Ritual Degrees and during a Masonic Lodge while open for labor.

From Darkness to Light
A 5 piece album and is the continuation of the original Masonic Avant-garde Piano Concerto containing the remaining 2 pieces that were subsequently composed for the Fellow Craft Degree and 3 remaining pieces that were composed for the Masonic Lodge Rituals.

Educational lectures and performances have been created to explain to Masons and non-Masons how these compositions were designed and how they fit into the Masonic Rituals and Ceremonies. These lectures and performances have been tailored as follows: Live In-Person: Open for both Masons and Non-Masons, Live In-Person: Master Masons Only, Live In-Person: Performance Only, No Lecture, Zoom Lecture and Performance Zoom Performance (No Lecture) If a lodge is planning to host a degree (EA,FC,MM) arrangements can be made with Joscar to be available to practice with the team prior to the degree so the Brothers can practice their parts and become familiar with the music.

Joscar would be available for the Degree so that the lodge and candidates can experience the Degree with music.
