FRED LONBERG-HOLM: CREATIVE SOLO CELLO
presented at Audiotheque, ArtCenter, Miami Beach
Tickets available at the door
Because of the Subtropics Festival, cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm has been no stranger to Miami. Yet his last solo appearance was back in 2005 during Subtropics 17 at the old Dorsch Gallery in the Wynwood Art District.
You should definitely be curious about his music—specially his solo work. Lonberg-Holm’s solo concerts are showcases of his latest discoveries in sound. His music is spontaneous, creative, playful and insightful, and is our opinion that he is got to be the best creative cellist alive in the world today!

TOWARD A LIGHTBOX ORCHESTRA PERFORMANCE—A WORKSHOP
An Improvisation Workshop conducted by Fred Lonberg-Holm takes place at Audiotheque
Musicians! This free workshop is for all interested in developing improvisational skills around the exploration of non gestural conduction constructions. The only requirements are 1) a willingness to listen to others; and 2) an interest in being an ensemble member over being a soloist.
The outcome of this workshop will be presented in a special performance at ArtCenter/South Florida’s Project 924, Friday, February 5. Interested? to sign up please call ArtCenter, 305-674-8278
FRI FEB 05, 2016 | Project 924 | FREE
THE LIGHTBOX ORCHESTRA: LONBERG-HOLM and MUSICIANS
presented at Project 924, ArtCenter, Miami Beach
for advance tickets call: ArtCenter, 305-674-8278
The Lightbox Orchestra is an ongoing non-fixed personnel ensemble project exploring non gestural conduction constructions. Using a system of lights and cards, the Lightbox operator works with the ensemble to fabricate real time open form compositions. A typical version incorporates roughly 10 musicians comfortable with working in the open space (but from any tradition) and one Lightbox operator. The operator chooses who is invited to play forming different small groups or tutti sections as the piece unfolds. In addition, suggestions can be made via “parameter cards”
