Music With a View

MUSIC WITH A VIEW @ THE FLEA is pleased to announce the 2010-2011 season. In the upcoming year, we will be doing something quite different. All six concerts of the season will take place in a FESTIVAL FORMAT between March 21 and April 3, 2011. The application process will be largely the same as last year.

In addition to concerts, we are planning special educational and community-oriented activities such as lecture demonstrations, workshops, open studio type displays, forums, etc. We’d love to hear from YOU as to what you’d like to either see or hear OR if there’s something you would like to share with the Flea music audience and/or the Tribeca community. For any suggestions, please email the curator directly: kathyexploding@gmail.com.

____________________________________

Music With A View was developed to complement our successful Dance Conversations @ The Flea. Both programs present works-in-progress by artists experimenting with new ideas and new forms. Each Music With A View event features the works of 2 – 3 emerging and/or mid-career composers and each performance will be followed by an open discussion between the artists and the audience, moderated by musician Kathleen Supové and other leaders in the field of music.

Music With A View was created to respond to a need for a lab-like space in which working artists can engage in a meaningful dialogue with the audience. It is dedicated to nurturing new works and to the free exchange of ideas, thoughts and opinions between artists and audience. Expect the works presented to be in various stages of development—raw, half-baked or fully developed. Admission is free.
