ARTPLACE: What is your elevator pitch when you describe your project to people?
RUTH: For fifteen years, Community MusicWorks’ resident musicians
have been creating a musical community with students and families in the
inner-city neighborhoods where we live, teach and perform. We have
noticed that community is one ot the significant outcomes in our
work–among students, between professional musicians and families, and
significantly between members of our audiences. Gather is a project that
intends to amplify the ways in which residents of a city grow to have a
deeper experience of community through their relationships with one
another. We aim to turn concert audiences into micro-communities, and
find out what happens if the person in the seat next to you is as much a
part of the concert experience as the musicians on the stage.
