East-West concert tonight

[Music Assistant]

Dear faculty and staff:

This is your invitation to join us for an exciting East-West concert tonight (7:30 pm) in the chapel involving the intersections between our audio and visual senses.  Music and images to be explored incude excerpts from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Godzilla; and Kurosawa's samurai films.  Here is what director Dr. Gerard Yun says about it:

To open our 2012-13 season members of Dark Horse, East-West's resident ensemble, explore relationships between sound and image across time and cultures. Through television, cinema, video games, YouTube, and the world wide web in general, we are constantly bombarded by images, often thousands per day. Using music Dark Horse slows down these images allowing us to explore them deeply and intimately, as well as their relationships to one another and ourselves.


Special Directions: Starting with tonight's concert and integral to our developing of our presentations for community participation and enjoyment, please join us in an experiment. As you listen to tonight's music feel free to use your mobile phones to take pictures (no flash please), record audio and video, and especially to give us feedback in the form of your impressions. That is, what you "see" and "experience" while listening to the music.



You may tweet your impressions directly to Dark Horse Ensemble on Twitter and Facebook during the concert. Videos can be uploaded to YouTube of course or emailed to us at "DarkHorseEnsemble at gmail.com<mailto:DarkHorseEnsemble at gmail.com>" Also, you may write/draw or otherwise communicate your impressions with the writing pads provided. Please drop them off before you leave the hall tonight. Thank you.
