Many ensembles deliver excellent concerts & workshops. CutTime® finds additional ways to be excellent:
- Blending famous symphonic works with fun and key listening information for newcomers
- Whether hosting off-the-cuff or scripted, we explain the sport or games of classical music to a sports-oriented public
- Making sense of tonality, structure, and phrasing using exaggeration, hand signals, and body language
- Playing new works by Rick Robinson with dance grooves woven with cool counterpoint
- Offering unique special and holiday programs (MLK, Valentines, Halloween, Christmas, Sandy Hook, Interesting Times, Draylen Mason)
- Creating curiosity by answering unspoken questions (Why tails? Why so long? Why the same composers? Why so soft?)
- Preparing newcomers for the mysterious traditions of the concert hall that maximizes potential impact
- Sharing effective analogies for newcomers to relate to written instrumental music (cooking, eating, reading, sailing, driving)
- Balancing refined and raw aesthetic values strategically in performance, depending on the emotional needs of the audience
- Inserting symphonic music amplified into bars, restaurants, clubs, parties, and outdoors
- Bringing our own amplification system good up to 5,000 sq. ft. indoors
- Audiences can participate on toy percussion, bringing them into the center of music-making
- Offering spot interviews with questions aimed at articulating hidden values (Why classical?)
- Identifying three key ideas, events, and technology that defined the overall classical music tradition
- Identifying new audience perspectives (audience-centrism) and most effective music for musicians to create their own bold programs
