Rochester Broadcast

It is a spatial symphony performed outdoors by several groups of musicians (professional, student, amateur, and everything in between) for whom Lisa Bielawa, Eastman’s ’25-’26 Howard Hanson Visiting Professor, writes bespoke music. Each group begins to sing and play together, before expanding outwards– literally “broadly casting” themselves, their sounds, and their words. Two outdoor performances of 30 minutes each will take place on Parcel 5 on April 18 at 12:00 and 2:00 p.m., with a rain date of April 19^th at those same times. Want to participate in Broadcast? You can join our pick-up chorus or our pick-up string group! 

 

Join our pick-up chorus here! The chorus will be led by Lee Wright, Director of Choirs at the University of Rochester. Participating singers will learn the music on their own, with the help of a special online learning aid designed by Lisa, found here. The music is designed for singers of all ages and abilities! There will be one in-person rehearsal, on April 12th, from 3:00 p.m.- 5:30 p.m., in the Ray Wright Room at the Eastman School (26 Gibbs Street). This will include a walk-through of Parcel 5, the performance location. Please note that the chorus will move from location to location during the performance.

 

Join our pick-up string group here! Music will be sent to our participants in the coming days; players will learn their music on their own. There will be one in-person rehearsal, on April 17th, from 6:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m. in the Ray Wright Room at the Eastman School (26 Gibbs Street). This will include a walk-through of Parcel 5, the performance location. Please note that the group will move from location to location during the performance.
