2012-2013 Educational Programming:
Fusion Performances for Young People
What is Fusion?
This is a series of concerts to be presented in high schools featuring a Photography Exhibit entitled, “Uniquely Albuquerque,” as well as programmatic chamber music. Each event will consist of a 15 minute photography projection/lecture, a short chamber music performance with the composer in attendance, and a short workshop on how to get inspired by sounds and how to translate them into music.
What to expect
• The length of the program is approximately 45 minutes – one hour
• A screen and a projector would be used in the presentation
• The photographer would show his works of Albuquerque, in combination with commentary.
• The visiting Composer would talk before each movement of the work followed by a performance of each piece
