Ming Studios Presents: 208 Ensemble
FY18 A&H Grant Recipient
208 Ensemble: Open Rehearsal Series
In a unique partnership with MING Studios, Boise's own 208 Ensemble will put their rehearsals on display. You are invited to explore the dynamic process of how the group brings pieces of innovative chamber music to life and sculpts them for performance. They'll deconstruct pieces, examine their elements, and put them back together. They'll discuss strategies, the way they want something to sound and feel, and why the composer wrote what they wrote. The rehearsal sessions are relaxed, visitors are welcome to come and go as they please. Feel free to ask questions, learn back stories of repertoire and composers, relax with a book, or doodle your impressions of the music.
