Cincinnati, From Scratch
Live, experimental premiere of student contemporary music compositions!
Join us at The Well on Sunday, May 26th, at 7:30 PM, for the 2024 edition of Cincinnati, From Scratch.
The From Scratch program is a long-term creative music education endeavor executed in conjunction with the students of the Chicago Musical Pathways Initiative (CMPI) and the Cincinnati Symphony’s Youth Orchestra and Nouveau programs. Guided by the philosophy that the students are already the experts in their own creativity, co-directors Hannah Christiansen and Joseph Bricker provide a series of group and individual workshops to introduce the students to writing for their own and other instruments and ultimately commission them to write brand new works for any combination of violin and percussion.
At the end of the workshops, the students oversee a professional recording of their work, and then introduce the live premiere of their pieces at a performance event which also includes an experimental live-group composition/performance: audience members will learn principles of non-standard notation and engage with a new piece to be interpreted on the spot, creating a uniquely personal and empowering connection to contemporary music.
Entry is free, registration NOT required!
