Inwood Haven: Making Melodies of Inwood (Family Workshop)
Join this family-friendly workshop to contribute to a composition that reflects the Inwood neighborhood and its history guided by teaching artist and violinist Evelyn Brandes!
What does Inwood sound like?
What music comes to mind when you think of Inwood?
Join us for a musical family workshop for youth and adults! Adults and kids ages 5-18 are invited to collaborate on a community composition, guided by Teaching Artist and composer Evelyn Petcher Brandes and Leadlights Ensemble violist Arthur Dibble.
Come learn how to use flashcards, boomwhackers, and bells to create melodies and rhythms inspired by our Inwood neighborhood. Your words, melodies, and ideas shared in this workshop will come to life in Ms.Brandes’ brand-new musical composition called “Inwood Haven,” premiering this September on our very own back porch!
Any accompanying adult is considered a participant of this program. Accompanying adults and youth must reserve a ticket. Participants may be photographed during this workshop and will be asked to sign a media release form.
