The Lindemann Performaning Arts Center an Brown Univeristy
A three-day IGNITE Series festival featuring performances, talks, and an inaugural recording release highlighting innovative new orchestral music created by Brown composers that celebrate The Lindemann Performing Arts Center as a premiere site for orchestral performance, technological experimentation and recording. Featuring the GRAMMY Award-winning Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP), Community Music Works (CMW), and guest speakers Afa Dworkin (Sphinx Organization), Daniel M. Callahan (Boston College), and Sebastian Ruth (CMW), the festival aims to engage with the question of what the Orchestra – as institution, tradition and technological instrument – means to us and our communities in the 21st-century. The festival is curated by Anthony Cheung (composer and associate professor, Music), Eric Nathan (composer and associate professor, Music), Butch Rovan (composer/media artist and professor, Music) and Wang Lu (composer and associate professor, Music).
