Orkestra Projekt brings together the talents of many fine artists and the product of their combined talents is a classical music experience unlike any other—a concert that has to be experienced before it can be understood. Our performances include unconventional mixtures of classical music, some well-known and some obscure, some very old and some very recently composed, and a generous sprinkling of surprises.
Audience interactions during the concert give context about the music, the composer, and share how the musicians feel about the music. In this way, Orkestra Projekt sets the stage for the audience members to draw parallels and comparisons between historical music and the music of today.
Take a Different Train and come to Agitate, by Orkestra Projekt at the Fringe Headquarters 719 E St. Clair St, Indianapolis. Living American composer Steve Reich's Different Trains will take us on a mid-20th century tour of rail, voice, and siren in America and Europe, pre- and post- WWII. Also, living Chinese composer Tan Dun's spacious piece, Lament:Autumn Winds, will expand the repertoire of our ensemmble's sound-producing technique. And, living young American composer Scott Comanzo's piece Bigot will challenge our thoughts on reaction.
Your reduced ticket price also includes drink and snacks. Come prepared to hang out, be challenged and enjoy some Led Zeppelin's Black Dog and Dancing Days, too.
And, say hello while you're there!
