MMB explores interdisciplinary programs to break down
barriers between subjects. MusicMoves can program music relating to
historical events such as the French Revolution, Enlightenment era,
WWI and Holocaust. We can also collaborate with visual artists and
dancers.
Sample programs of social or
historical relevance:
Women of Note (important but
overlooked female composers)
Fanny Mendelssohn, Amy Beach and Clara Schumann
Made in USA (showcasing
American composers)
George Gershwin, Arthur Foote and local composer Daniel Pinkham
Expressions of Impressionism (unique
flavor of French visual art and music)
Debussy, Faure and Ravel
Homeland Security (folk
melody & nationalism in music)
Janacek, Smetana and Dvorak
Strategies of Survival (composers
of the Holocaust)
Klein, Dauber, Ulmann and Milhaus

Chamber music was originally intended
for intimate social gatherings. Our concept reestablishes such venues
and offers listeners the rare opportunity to interact with musicians
in the intimacy of your home. Programs can reflect regional cuisine or
wines, or we can explore any themed concert of your choice.
A few samples of possible soiree concert themes:
Un Buffet Français (French musical
gems from all eras)
Gabriel Fauré, Jean Francais, Jean Marie Leclaire and Frederic
Chopin
Got Trio? (showcasing the unique variety of string trio literature)
Luigi Boccherini, Franz Schubert, W.-A. Mozart and Gideon Klein

Bach’s widespread influence)

MusicMoves can help select music to
reflect an organization’s
interests or background. A MusicMoves concert will add an elegant and
generous touch to a gala or fundraising event.
Ideas include:
• Corporate or Non-Profit event
or fund-raiser
• A concert performed right before
or after an event dinner
• A MMB performance can be an item in
a silent auction

For centuries, music has played an integral role in ceremonies and celebrations. Classical chamber music can be a featured tribute in a funeral or memorial service, or it can be used to enhance the ambiance. Music has the power to console and uplift the human spirit and to strengthen the unity of those assembled. Specific songs or pieces of music can elicit cherished memories of our loved ones and allow the community to express convictions and feelings that words alone may fail to convey.
Since music evokes powerful emotions, the music for the commemoration of a loved one should be chosen with great care. We work closely with you to customize the musical program that reflects the taste and personality of the person who has passed on.
