Graham Foundation

TAK Ensemble presents the guided workshop "The Creative Score: Unconventional Notation for Unconventional Music"

Join TAK Ensemble—Laura Cocks, flute; Madison Greenstone, clarinet; Charlotte Mundy, voice; Marina Kifferstein, violin; and Ellery Trafford, percussion—for the workshop, The Creative Score: Unconventional Notation for Unconventional Music, to examine non-traditional scores from works within TAK’s repertoire, from the physical and symbolic to the graphic and spatial.The workshop guides participants through learning excerpts of TAK’s most theatrical, uncanny, and strange compositions. Participants will also create their own notation systems and symbologies to be performed by TAK and other workshop attendees.Intended for a general audience of the musically curious, participants may bring an instrument, but it is not required.TAK Ensemble is also performing at the Graham Foundation on Saturday, October 19, at 7 p.m.—<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lampo-tak-ensemble-tickets-1041451277807?aff=oddtdtcreator" title="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lampo-tak-ensemble-tickets-1041451277807?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">click here to register to attend</a>.Additional support for this program is provided by New Music USA’s New Music Inc program and the Farny R.

The ensemble has also collaborated with the New York Philharmonic’s Very Young Composers Program and Juilliard’s Music Advancement Program.

The Chicago-based organization's core activity has been and remains its performance series. Rather than making programming decisions around tour schedules, Lampo invites selected artists to create and perform new work, and then the organization provides the space, resources, and curatorial support to help them fulfill their vision. Lampo also organizes artist talks, lectures, screenings, and workshops, and publishes written and recorded documents related to its series.

Accessibility: This event will be held in the ballroom on the third floor of the Madlener House, which is only accessible by stairs. The first-floor galleries and bookshop are accessible via outdoor lift.
