What happens when we take a leap of faith to disrupt a mainstream idea? What are the possibilities in combining unlike things? CMW’s Founder & Artistic Director Sebastian Ruth asked these questions recently as he took the stage at a TEDx Providence gathering to share the philosophical foundations of Community MusicWorks in “Music, Community, and Creating Space for Unexpected Possibilities.”
One of the highlights of the day-long event at the VETS Memorial Auditorium was the appearance of our own Phase III String Quartet, featuring violinists Marieme Diallo and Dayana Read, cellist Jay Nunez, and violist Zoe Cute, who performed David Stone’s Miniature Quartet No. 1, Mvt. 3.
The TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) community began in 1984 as a conference dedicated to sharing ideas and soon grew into an online phenomenon of short, powerful “Ted Talk” videos featuring the world’s most inspiring speakers. Community MusicWorks was honored to be represented at the Providence TEDx, which featured some of Rhode Island’s best minds and performers. Learn More about TED/TEDx here.
