Noon Recital: First Year Creative Project
19 August • 12:10pm
Conservatory Concert HallABOUT THIS EVENT
Every year, we dedicate the very first Wednesday Noon Recital to our new cohort of Year 1s as they begin to unfold their story.
The twist? There are no scores written prior to the event – the creative project is improvised and composed within days, bringing together live and virtual elements! While we don’t know how the story will go, we do know it will be a remarkable and significant tale.
Student contributor: Xia Yixuan (Year 2, MS/MCP)
THEME: Alone, Together
This years’ COVID situation has posed a particular challenge for our freshmen: how could they make this creative project into a truly collaborative experience? By sending each other video postcards, and integrating these into the final piece, they have been able to collectively address themes as loneliness, boredom, fear, communication and the desire to meet and make music together.
This event will be livestreamed on the Conservatory’s YouTube channel. Follow and subscribe to be notified of upcoming streams.
