Have you ever wondered what a picture sounds like in the hands of an orchestra?

A series of new, one-page, graphic scores come to life in the hands of the Plastic Acid Orchestra and guest conductor Giorgio Magnanensi. Over the course of three days, community members from a range of backgrounds will learn about and experiment with graphic notation, sound, composition, gesture and figure to create their own one-page scores for the Plastic Acid Orchestra.

The workshops culminate in a free, public performance of the new scores at Pyatt Hall.
