We are thrilled to be collaborating with the incredible Forward Motion at Indyfringe Festival this season!! Tickets are available for all three performances here: https://indyfringe.org/performance/109-sympathetic-resonance/. Read on for a brief description of the show!

Sympathetic Resonance takes the audience on a journey of individualism through the exploration of distinct musical styles. This new piece is comprised of 6 miniature acts, each written by a different composer and spotlighting a specific instrumentalist. The overall effect poetically demonstrates the bold uniqueness of each voice through the non-verbal aesthetic of music, and ultimately leads to the realization of how human expressions can be both an individual accomplishment as well as a contribution to the collective.

For nearly a decade in Indianapolis, Forward Motion has advocated for the creation of new works by presenting innovative performances in a variety of spaces. The ensemble focuses on the performance of new works and free improvisations.

Forward Motion’s core instrumentation consists of flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano and percussion; the group’s activity is fluid and involves many innovative combinations of this core instrumentation. The core members regularly compose for the group bringing about a wide-range of creative expressions.

The original music in this production was composed by Rob Funkhouser, Luke Garrigus, Cat Hoelscher, Logan Purcell, and Amanda S. This production features performers Jennifer Page (flute), Eric Salazar (clarinet), Angela Pulliam (violin), Maya Nojiri (cello), Ashton Vickery (piano), and Corey Denham (percussion).
