The concert featured a pianist playing live from Texas.  His image was video-cast, but his music was produced on an actual piano right in front of us,  digitally coupled with the piano he was playing on - much like a real-time Player Piano. There was also a demonstration at the concert of computer- composed music.  You (or a schoolchild!) sketch out graphically on your screen a simple theme or two, a notion about going up, or down, changing key, etc, and the software* produces an amazingly creditable piece of music.

The banquet itself was splendid, from the menu and the music to the very attractive cast-aluminum beavers all reunees were given as favors.
