About this exposition

This project is born out of the shared exploratory nature of musicians who specialise in either, and often both, the historically informed or ultracontemporary genres: there are many unifying qualities in the technical and musical approaches to exploring, rehearsing, and programming the musics of these genres, and it seems only logical that they should more often be put next to each other in a performance context. The goal was to create an exercise in true artistic research by practicing all of the systems—academic and performance-based alike—of fostering the growth of a concert series executing innovating programming methods, all the while keeping an aim solidly beyond just the two years under the roof of an educational institution afforded by a graduate degree. All aspects of the project center around the inaugural concert, taking the shape of a concept-program that places a commissioned work on either side of and within Pergolesi's "Stabat Mater". Musical preparations for the performance of the Pergolesi and a pre-concert lecture on themes related to both works are the extent of the traditional research, while the remainder is exhibition and synthesis of practical artistic research with a focus on creating something tangible through experience.
