Black Composer Miniature Challenge Student Showcase Festival
Free
Curated by Director of Education Taylor Lena McTootle, Castle of Our Skins (COOS) teamed up with young viola students from Project STEP, the Boston City-Wide String Orchestra, and the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra's Intensive Community Program (ICP), challenging them each to learn and perform one of the 30-second minis from COOS's Black Composer Miniature Challenge Vol. 1 Anthology!
The reception was overwhelming: nine outstanding students replied with performance recordings of select pieces! We want to share their work with the COOS community, so tune in September 13th - 23rd each day at 4pm Eastern / 1pm Pacific for a BCMC Student Showcase Festival!
Videos will be posted to the COOS Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Castleskins/
