ResoNations - A Music Concert For Peace In The Largest Concert Hall In History
Monday/16 November 2009
Wow! Check this out.
It's called ResoNations and it's billed as an
international telematic music concert for peace featuring
“new
contemporary music works for peace performed by renowned musicians
in five international locations”. It sounds cutting-edge cool
to me.
I had to look up the word “telematic”:
telematics |ˌteləˈmatiks|
plural noun [treated as sing. ]
the branch of information technology that deals with the long-distance transmission of computerized information.
DERIVATIVES
telematic adjective
ORIGIN 1970s: blend of telecommunication and informatics .
Real world compostions will be performed simultaneously over the internet in the following cities:
• United Nations Headquarters, New York City
• Banff, Alberta, Canada
• Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
• Seoul, South Korea
• San Diego, California, United States of America
Musicians in these locations will perform as a single ensemble — that's a marvel. A live as-it-happens webcast will occur with limited seating. I know one of the musicians who will be playing from Banff and therefore hope to have one of the seats for the webcast.
Here is the program:
Hope’s Dream by Mark Dresser and Sarah Weaver, Disparate Bodies by Pedro Rebelo, Rock, Paper, Scissors by Chris Chafe, and Green-colored Harmony by Jun Kim
From musical, technical and international peace perspectives this is a big deal. We will see if mainstream media will cover the event. CBC are you there?
