Music from the Inside Out

Oakland School for the Arts, Chinatown Central (2011)

The Left Coast Chamber Ensemble (LCCE) will provide 40 serious young musicians at the Oakland School for the Arts with an enrichment program that integrates composition, interpretation and performance. The program will integrate composition, analysis performance, interpretation and ensemble-playing, with the students creating new works of art and developing skills in performance and analysis.

LCCE musicians will coach student ensembles and sections, bringing together the experiences of composing, comparing and analyzing music. The students will compose original chamber music, and LCCE musicians will eventually play the music for the students, after giving feedback, experimenting, discussing the process and revising the work with the students.
