[Ed. note: Please read the following in the voice of Don LaFontaine.]
In a world where classical music struggles for ‘relevancy’ and ‘identity.’ Where no genre is safe from the clutches of classicism. Where crossing the streams isn’t always bad. In life, there are moments that define us. Moments that forge friendships that will last for decades. And moments that will be replayed in slow motion 25 years from now with the triumphant-sounding, montage-worthy pop music of today as the soundtrack. From the conservatory that brought you the Metallica cello trio cover band cover band, comes something so potentially viral it can only be called The Lady Gaga Saga (for bassoon quartet?).
Is the Eastman School of Music a ‘hotbed’ of alt-classicism?
Is having ‘break’ in the name of your bandsemble a requirement at Eastman?
Does ‘break’ imply that u r breaking from ‘tradition’ / ‘convention’?
Is bassoon quartet a viable artistic medium?
Will The Breaking Winds win Concert Artists Guild?
Do girls just wanna have fun?
Is Michael Daugherty really pissed off he didn’t come up with this idea first?
