Composer Collaboration Project 2024-25!
We're thrilled to unveil the Fergus Falls Composer Collaboration Project for the 2024-25 school year! This year, our talented students will have the unique opportunity to collaborate with the acclaimed composer Kelijah Dunton. This innovative project will not only enhance their musical education but also offer a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be part of the creation of an original musical work.
Here's what makes this project so special:
Direct Composer Interaction: Students will engage directly with Kelijah Dunton via Zoom sessions, diving deep into the creative process from idea generation to sketching and refining musical concepts. This hands-on experience will give students a rare insight into how a professional composer works.
Student Input: Our students' musical tastes and creative ideas will shape the new composition. Through surveys and interactive sessions, Kelijah will integrate student feedback, making them integral to the creation process.
Professional Mentorship: Students will have the chance to ask Kelijah questions, ranging from music-specific inquiries to personal interests, fostering a deeper connection to the art form and the artist.
Performance Feedback: After experimenting with the new work, students will receive performance guidance and encouragement from Kelijah, enhancing their musical skills and interpretive abilities.
Unique Premiere: The original composition will be delivered in March and premiered in May at the Kennedy Auditorium in Fergus Falls. This premiere will not only showcase our students' hard work and creativity but also provide the community with a fresh and innovative musical experience.
Community Engagement: This project will strengthen community ties, involving local schools, arts organizations, and businesses, and highlighting the importance of supporting the arts in our region.
Don't miss out on this incredible journey of musical discovery and creation! Stay tuned for updates and join us in celebrating the artistic achievements of our students. Together, let's make the 2024-25 school year unforgettable with the Composer Collaboration Project!
