After a successful launch of the pilot program in summer 2017, Ensemble Connect once again presents the week-long Audience Engagement Intensive (AEI) from June 4–11 in Carnegie Hall's Resnick Education Wing. Seven pre-formed chamber ensembles selected from across U.S. and Canada—ranging in styles from classical to contemporary to folk music—come together to learn from leaders in the fields of performance and audience engagement. The eight days of tuition-free workshops are modeled after the training that is provided to Ensemble Connect fellows and is aimed at strengthening their ability to connect with all kinds of audiences. The ensembles are The Raritan Trio (New Jersey), Sprig of That (Minnesota), Catharsis Winds (Ohio), Kahlo String Quartet (formed in Mississippi), Trio Gaia (Massachusetts), Front Porch (Michigan), and Genesis Trio (Vancouver, Canada).
Seuss + Shakespeare = FUN! Ten students from Main Street Theater's Education Department jump into the silly world of Dr. Seuss combined with William Shakespeare in The Seussification of Romeo and Juliet, written by Peter Bloedel. The key elements of Shakespeare's great love story are all there - but there's a much happier ending and the swordfights are balloon-filled - not blood-filled! There are 3 public performances: Friday and Saturday, October 25 and 26, at 7:30pm, and Sunday, October 27 at 3:30pm. Performances are at Main Street Theater - Chelsea Market, located at 4617 Montrose Boulevard. For tickets, call 713-524-6706 or log on to mainstreettheater.com. All tickets are $5.00.
