The Hyperscore Project - 2006

The Skaneateles Festival Hyperscore Project was a unique community outreach project that brought together traditional art and cutting-edge technology in a way that all could enjoy.

Compose Yourself! (A Free Community Concert)

The culmination of this inclusive project was the Opening Night Concert of the Skaneateles Festival's 2006 Season. Many of the pieces composed by the students and adults were performed by the Daedalus Quartet at this public concert. The free community event took place Wednesday, August 9th, 8:00 pm,at the First Presbyterian Church in Skaneateles, and also included music by some of history's greatest composers, Mozart and Beethoven. Our community composers, young and old, will hear their music performed alongside the works of the masters!
