Orchestra on Campus 2011
November 3, 2011

Tickets for the general public are available for the Thursday, November 3 concert at Central Piedmont Community College. Tickets are $20 for adults and $12 for non-CPCC students and are available through the CSO ticket office at 704-972-2000.

Orchestra on Campus 2011 joins in the community wide birthday celebration of Charlotte-born artist Romare Bearden to present a special concert that brings together music, drama and visual art. Vibrant images of Romare Bearden’s well known collages will be projected on a large screen above the orchestra and will accompany music that evokes jazz, New York City, colors, and feelings of reflection. Dramatic readings from works of playwright August Wilson (and a friend of Romare Bearden) will add to the multi-disciplinary aspects of the concert.

About Orchestra on Campus
 
Orchestra on Campus is a multi-disciplinary project created in partnership with local cultural institutions and colleges and universities. Its goals are: 1) to provide a forum in which the Charlotte Symphony serves as an educational resource for the region’s colleges and universities; 2) to expand the Symphony audience to include a younger and more diverse demographic; 3) to create opportunities for strong and meaningful partnerships among cultural and academic institutions; 4) to expand the Symphony’s service to a wider geographic area.

Orchestra on Campus seeks to draw students from a variety of academic disciplines into the orchestral experience, using programs developed in conjunction with their course studies. Collaboration among local cultural institutions, multimedia presentations, interdisciplinary education, and wide faculty and student involvement are hallmarks of Orchestra on Campus activities.
