EASTMAN STUDENTS TURN CLASSICAL MUSIC ON ITS HEAD AT ARTISANWORKS

Sound ExChange interacts with audience and 40,000 square feet of art

ROCHESTER, NY – Sound ExChange—a group of Eastman musicians dedicated to exploring alternative ways of presenting music to reimagine and reinvigorate the traditional concert experience—joins with ARTISANworks to present a family-friendly, multidisciplinary concert experience. Combining live music, visual art, and dance, SoundExchange @ ARTISANworks takes place on Sunday, April 14, 2013, from 2 - 4 p.m. Louis Perticone, founder of ARTISANworks says, “This partnership continues to develop our vision of marrying of the arts.” This event is sponsored by the organ donation nonprofit blifeNY.org.

Described by the Rochester Business Journal as a group that “turns the classical music concert on its head,” Sound ExChange has designed this program specifically to embrace ARTISANworks as an interactive concert hall. This two-part event opens at 2:00 with an installation project enabling musicians, performance artists, dancers, and listeners–scattered throughout the eclectic galleries–to interact with each other and the surrounding artwork. Performances showcase Marilyn Monroe musical classics, original compositions set to sign language, music for hand-clappers, and a small indie band. This installation is designed by Eastman percussion student Kurt Fedde.

The second half of the event continues at 3:00 with cabaret-style audience seating for a program comprised of contemporary chamber music featuring a variety of performers and works: members of the award-winning saxophone quartet Project Fusion;; Tight Sweater, a minimalist trio for marimba, cello, and piano composed by Eastman alum Mark Mellits;; and LIgNEouS 1, a work for marimba and string quartet by composer and percussionist Andy Akiho. The concert concludes with an interactive piece created specifically for these particular performers and listeners by Eastman percussion student Drew Worden.
