open 78: sight before sound

Combine the worlds of visual and sonic arts in this hands-on installment of Open 78! In this session we will explore the world of graphic scores as composers and performers. You'll create scores individually and/or collaboratively, and work in ensembles to perform in a short concert at the end of the workshop. 

Materials will be provided, however participants are encouraged to bring their own art implements (pencils, markers, paint, paper, etc.). Light refreshments will be available.

Open 78 sessions are interactive workshops designed to make contemporary music accessible to everyone. Sessions are free and open for anyone to participate– bring a friend!

Implications and Impossibilities in my Creative Research
​Yoshiaki Onishi
Saturday, February 2, 2019 // 3:00-4:00pm

DeRosa University Center Ballroom
Festival composer-in-residence Yoshiaki Onishi will deliver a presentation on his work and research as composer: “Identifying the connections between music and other artistic and academic disciplines—as well as diverse sociological phenomena—has been a central concern in my compositional process. In this lecture, using my three recent compositions as examples, I will discuss my motivations for such an interdisciplinary approach in the process of composing music. I will consider the role of composers in today’s society and the statement by geographer Oli Mould: ‘Creativity is, indeed must be, political.’”
