Resonate : creating experiences
|
"Music expresses that which cannot be said and
on which it is impossible to be silent.” ― Victor Hugo |
Rural towns. Young students. A lifelong passion.
In rural communities across ND, students struggle to access the inspiration, exposure, and education they need to become passionate musicians and artists. Resonate is changing that.
Through Musical Masterclasses, a featured collegiate chamber ensemble travels to a school and performs an interactive concert. What elevates these performances and makes them truly special, however, is the open discussion afterwards. The performers have a unique focus of explaining their interpretation of the piece and how they made their musical decisions--even selecting various sections in the music and playing it alternative ways. This, furthered with the performers' sharing their own experiences and advice on music-making, results in a performance that gives students rare insight and exposure to high-level musicians & their thought process. The piece-by-piece demonstration of how they interpreted the music and all the decisions involved in creating the final product--the performance--inspires students to think actively about how they can grow as empathetic, nuanced performers, and ways to share their music with an audience.
Investing in rural students' musical education does more than create thrilling & emotional performances, but also results in creative, dedicated, involved community members and future leaders.
