Composing Together

This Spring, Gojogo took up residency in three local middle schools as part of the Composing Together program.  Under the direction of composer Katie Wreede, Composing Together brings creativity to music classrooms by engaging students in the process of writing original music.  Students explore elements of composition like meter, tempo, key, and articulation in order to express color, mood and emotion through music.  After several composing sessions, their final drafts are rehearsed and premiered by professional ensembles like Gojogo.
