Creative Sound Workshops
January 28, February 4, 25, March 4, 18 | 6:30-8:30
PM
$5
non-members/ $3 members/students/seniors
Drop-ins welcome
The Creative Sound Workshops present the opportunity
to approach the world of music in new ways. Sound
is used as a raw source; we as music makers will
mold and twist this raw source as a sculptor might
shape a lump of clay.
Series 1: Rotations - led by Benjamin J Mansavage
Klein
The
Rotations Series allows participants to interact
with a variety of instruments, those familiar and
unfamiliar, traditional and invented, all within one
piece of music. In this series, we will work with a
number of compositions in which the participants are
asked to move from one instrument to the next; only
until every instrument has been played by every
participant is a composition complete. New colors of
sound will hopefully emerge as each participant
contributes their own unique approach to each
instrument. Participants will be invited to submit
their own strategies for rotation. All meetings are
open to new involvement; participation in the
initial informational meeting not mandatory.

workshops. |
