Engaging the Community
So enjoyed Aaron’s and Yvonne’s comments and Yvonne’s description of featuring a live composer. I had some great experiences awhile back with Carole Wysocki and the NSO. I also want to mention that so much of what I learned about relating to a young audience I learned from Eric Bertoluzzi when I was resident with the Colorado. Later with Tom Cabaniss and Ted Wiprud, of Philly and the NYPhil.
We are currently in discussion with the American Sym Orch and ASCAP, inspired by Paola Prestini, in bridging that gap between the first inspiration of an elementary school kid when they discover the power of their own creativity and that time in high school when they have to go it in the big bad world. Exciting possibilities! and some crazy, wonderful, unexpected music along the way.
