Outreach Performances
Spring 2011
As an advocate for the arts and dedicated to the growth and vitality of its surrounding community, Music at the Mission works towards building greater
exposure, accessibility & understanding of classical music through its Outreach Performances Project by providing
a choice of three 45-minute, interactive performance 
programs to
schools. Visiting artists are of national and international
acclaim and each program is suitable for junior high
and high school aged students
and above.
INTERSECTIONS OF HISTORY / WORLD EVENTS & MUSIC: In using the tumultuous events of 20th Century Russia as an example of how great art can deepen our understanding of history, this program features works by composers whose lives and music were intertwined with the events of the day. Works include pieces by Shostakovich, Shchedrin and Miaskowsky.
INTERSECTIONS OF MATH & MUSIC:
This Outreach Performance will highlight
the multi-faceted relationship between
music and numbers. Included is a talk and
performance of music imbued with the
spirit of ratios, puzzles, fractal geometry
and other mathematic theory. Works
include pieces by Nancarrow, Wuorinen,
Diesendruck and Xenackis.
THE PERFORMING ARTIST & MUSIC MAKING: In connection with our regular performance series, Artists for the upcoming performances will provide a closer view of the world of performance and classical music from the artistsstandpoint.
