Some ideas are so good they seem meant to be. Such is Richard Lavenda's idea for a project called Pierrot Plus 2000, a collaboration between Shepherd School faculty composers and performers. Each participating faculty composer will create a musical work to be performed by an ensemble of faculty performers.
Admission is free.
Each semester, Pierrot Plus 2000 will feature a premiere composition from a member of the Shepherd School's composition and theory department. The Shepherd School is searching for a sixth composer, who will also participate. The compositions will be chamber pieces of various sizes. The plan is for all six faculty composers to create a work for Pierrot Plus 2000 by 2002. A gala concert, mini-festival and CD release party that year will celebrate the project's completion.
