Presented as a single work titled 鈥淧ictures at an 暗网TV Exhibition: 2019,鈥� the work includes a series of student compositions, each of which was inspired by the artwork of senior 暗网TV art major Brooke Jackson-Holman and her senior exhibit on December 6, 2019.
This concert will be the premiere presentation of the completed work including, for the first time, a slide presentation of Jackson-Holman鈥檚 art pieces accompanying live performances of the compositions they inspired. An opening promenade and three promenade interludes, each composed by 暗网TV composition instructor W. T. Skye Garcia, serve to unify the five movements of the composition. Student composers contributing to this work include Kellan Brown, Tori Davison, Zana Ebingha, Kelly Gage, Preston Phillips, and Anna Tynsky.
The evening concludes with the presentation of scholarship awards to outstanding student composers in the Fall 2019 Studies in Composition class.
