DON'T MISS: Borromeo String Quartet Family Concert
Time: March 2, 2013 at 2pm
Place: St. Cloud Public Library Mississippi Room, 1300 West St. Germain Street
The Borromeo String Quartet will give a performance designed for all ages, including young children. The Borromeo has produced its own classical music videos. This performance will include a video created by students at Pine Meadow Elementary School during a 3-day residency by the Borromeo.
The Borromeo have been redefining the classical music landscape through innovative uses of Macbook Pro laptops, video projection, and iPads in performance. They use on-stage projections of hand drawn original manuscripts by composers like Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, Mozart, and Schubert to vividly illustrate the creative process hard at work, a practice which has excited audiences of all ages. In schools, their use of technology is proving to make classical music now very relevant to students who have grown up in the digital age.
