Description

The Department of Music presents the second UMBC Create Music Festival, an event that reimagines music education festivals for equity and 21st century music learning, with the collaboration of the BSO OrchKids program, Sister Cities Voices, and two Baltimore area public school large ensembles.

Before the event, each program will collaboratively create an original composition. On March 1, students will workshop and elevate their pieces with teaching artists, including Emmy-nominated composer and genre-bending violinist Daniel Bernard Roumain, Chicago-based vocal theater ensemble Artemisia Trio, composer Alysia Lee, and UMBC music faculty and alumnus James Dorsey ’05. Students will also work together to create an original arrangement.

The day will culminate in a concert at 5:30 p.m. in which students and artists share their process, artistic choices, and perform their original pieces, celebrating their creativity and work in creating, responding, connecting, and performing.

Tickets are free, but reservations will be required.
