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 have far fewer resources to access the inspiration, exposure, and education they need to become passionate musicians and artists. Resonate is changing that through Inspire Performances.
In these performance series, a featured chamber ensemble composed of either collegiate musicians or local educators and performers travel to a school and perform 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. Finally, they then share their own stories, experiences, and advice on music-making. The final result: 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 how to share their music and passion with an audience.
Investing in rural students' musical education does more than create thrilling & emotional performances, it leads to creative, dedicated, involved community members and future leaders.
