CommunityMusicWorks.org of Providence, Rhode Island:
Our
Idea
Based on the conviction that musicians can play an
important public service role, Community MusicWorks
has created an opportunity for professional musicians to build and transform
their own urban community.
Welcome to CMW's 17th season! This season, we are
dedicating ourselves throughout the organization to the theme of
crossing borders, encouraging audience members, students, families, and
musicians to go beyond their normal experiences and engage with the
unfamiliar through musical encounters. Maxine Greene, one of CMW's
philosophical godmothers, advocates for the arts because of their
potential to take us into the unexpected, the unfamiliar, and to grow
our conceptions of what our lives can mean. She challenges us to "not be
willing to remain passive, to coincide forever with ourselves," but to
engage with arts experiences as opportunities to open doors and move
ourselves to transform.
Enjoy the elemental atmosphere of Providence's famous WaterFire with a
special added element, as CMW Players perform pieces by Arvo Pärt and
Kareem Roustom. Free.
