Coordinated by SOU Professor of Music, Artist in Residence, and Honors College Instructor, Dr. Terry Longshore. In this inspiring project, Longshore and the 25 students of his “Making Music” course in the SOU Honors College are designing and composing a multi-media, multi-instrumental performance centered around the theme of “Memories,” and invoking SOU Honors College’s 5 values: Curiosity, Community, Critical Thinking, Creativity and Innovation, and Civic Engagement/Citizenship.
Spread throughout the entire museum, the performance will map out the 5 values in different sections of ScienceWorks, inviting the audience to wander during the performance and experience musical interludes interpreting the 5 values’ themes. Being a percussionist, Longshore says, “there will absolutely be a plethora of percussion instruments and sounds employed, but expect other sound worlds as well, including the instruments and installations present at ScienceWorks.”
ScienceWorks doors will open for this event at 6 PM on Friday, February 20. Two performances will take place: the first at 6:30 PM; the second at 7:30 PM; each lasting 15 to 20 minutes. The museum will close at 8 PM. Audience members are welcome to arrive at any time during the event, and are welcome to listen to both performances if desired. Admission is free for ScienceWorks members and SOU students and staff; all others are $10. A repeat performance of “Making Music” will take place at the SOU Percussion Ensemble’s concert titled “Toy Story,” on Thursday, March 5, at 7:30 PM in the SOU Music Recital Hall.
