Musicians from two world-class ensembles converge in Omaha to blend the traditional and contemporary and transform the way music is created and experienced with hands-on participation. Members from International Contemporary Ensemble return to their ONE residency with two revolutionary events, Collective Reverberations: a free, roaming sound exploration in multiple spaces at the Durham Museum inspired by the history of Omaha's historic grand central railroad station and Cover Motets: a surprising reboot of classic baroque compositions that combines early music specialists from Seattle's Pacific MusicWorks with the new music dexterity of the International Contemporary Ensemble.
COLLECTIVE REVERBERATIONS
A family-friendly and free sound exploration about site-adaptation in Omaha's own historic Grand Central Station! Choose your own musical adventure in the full rich surroundings of the stunning Durham Museum as you encounter surprising performances and artists hidden throughout train cars, secret exhibits, and hands-on inclusion with the creation of your own compositions in the Durham's stunning lobby. This one-of-a-kind operatic experience brings you headfirst into the music of ONE 2020 from all sides as our festival artists fill the museum in an ongoing participatory afternoon of radiating sound and unexpected musical discovery.
