Please investigate the East Coast component of this project to see what Mark Weber and the Relache ensemble are constructing at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida.
Music In Motion was created by Joseph Franklin, Founding Director of Relache and Metadesign Associates (META) in association with Suzanne Fetscher, Executive Director of Atlantic Center for the Arts (ACA) with funds provided by the Pew Charitable Trusts, Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund, the Rockefeller Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. The mission of Music in Motion is to build audiences for the musical arts through a national network of collaborative residencies among composers, performing ensembles and host sites in the context of a variety of community outreach activities. The VirtualConcert is the second phase of the Music in Motion project.
In the first phase of this project, Jack Straw Productions hosted a Music in Motion Event at its studios on March 8th, 1996. Zeitgeist, a new music ensemble from Minneapolis, played works in progress by Music In Motion commissioned composers Jarrad Powell and David Mahler, in addition to performing compositions by Tony Stark and W.C. Handy.
