What is Noise Performance at Resonance Works' in Pittsburgh

What Is Noise premieres Virtual Resonance Chamber Series: In an Expanding Universe presented by Resonance Works / Pittsburgh on Sunday, December 6 at 3:00 PM!

The third performance in the new Virtual Resonance Chamber Series, “In An Expanding Universe” is a sextet’s answer to the question: is our world now smaller or bigger? As we all stay home during the COVID-19 pandemic, we can no longer make music with those outside our own households, but we can explore music and ideas with people and cultures around the world and look out into the galaxy for a sense of meaning and wonder.

Featuring solo and chamber works by composers from Cuba, Poland, Syria, and Australia, composers of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean descent, and works inspired by Armenia and the stars and galaxies, What Is Noise presents global musical perspectives in honor of Resonance Works’ commitment to equity by sharing music by creators of multiple genders, races, nationalities, and sexual orientations.

Tickets are only $9 and give you unlimited access to the program for 3 months! Proceeds and additional donations directly support the work of the performing artists on this series.

What is Noise Montgomery County Residency

What Is Noise will present an educational residency program at Albert Einstein High School in Kensington, MD. This collaboration with Instrumental Music Director Mr. Brendan Kelly has developed throughout the past few years. The program, entitled “Music: A Home Away From Home.” will feature works written by living composers that are representative of their home. Many of us have transplanted to new places and find that our ‘home’ is always a part of us, even as we establish ourselves somewhere new. At the same time, a new place can become home. The pieces we have selected for this program present that dichotomy through music.
