Have a young musician age 8 -18, who also enjoys computer games? Sign them up for PlayTogether Go, the innovative new program combining small ensemble playing, music by diverse local composers, and game design!
Who’s it for? All Metro-West instrumental students from late beginner to advanced, age 8 -18
What is it? Students will be placed in small ensembles (3 – 5 musicians). Each group will:
- have a piece specially composed for them by a local under-represented composer
- have weekly professional ensemble coaching
meet with their composer to learn more about their creative process and challenges - invent a video game character based on their music
- give the world premiere of their music, at a community-wide performance/game event featuring their character!
Where? Hosted at Wayland School of Music and the W Gallery, Wayland Town Center
When? Students will have 9 weeks of professional ensemble coaching, starting in February. They will meet their composer, and will take part in an art/design class for their character, in the spring. The community-wide game and performance of the music will take place on May 22.
