A4TY: Album for the Young,
Vol. II: Student New Music Project
Description:
For pre-college aged music students the composer is perhaps
the most remote figure in the musical process, either a famous
name from the history books or little more than an afterthought.
Likewise, composers rarely have the opportunity to work with
young, enthusiastic performers whose tastes and habits are
still developing. For both students and composers it can be
revelatory to see up close the process of creating and preparing
a piece of music. This project seeks to bring these two groups
into direct contact and to open a window for each into the
other's working methods and creative process.
The Student New Music Project will commission two composers
to each write a new work for one of the Bloomingdale School
of Music ensembles. These works will then be prepared by the
ensemble for a concert, each under the direction of faculty
directors. Additionally, there will be a call
for scores from students in the Bloomingdale community. This
effort will be supplemented by directly contacting teachers
regarding promising student composers in their studios. A final
concert given by student ensembles will feature the two commissioned
works and all selected student works.
