Soundbox Fellowship Program Returns April 10-12 with Hearing Memory

Arts & Culture

The second mini-festival of the Soundbox Fellowship Program unfolds across three days in April, bringing together resident musicians, composer fellows, and internationally renowned oboist James Austin Smith for an immersive exploration of how music preserves and witnesses history. "Hearing Memory" centers on a deceptively simple question: What stories does a musical score tell? When performers interpret a composer's notation, they are engaging with documents encoding memory, the last traces of a composer's imagination, voice, culture, and community. This Soundbox Fellowship Program dives into how musicians and composers bear witness to history through the act of interpretation, and what we might learn from musical cultures that have nearly been lost to time. For more information, visit www.soundboxventures.org
