Presented in collaboration with the Alley Theatre and the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts
Your students have been invited to an interactive lecture by an acclaimed music professor at Zilkha Hall. But the Professor is late and two impostors try to take his place. Can they run the "tune collider," give the harmony a "make-over" and keep the "beat box" from exploding? Produced in collaboration with the Alley Theatre, Musiqa takes students inside of pieces of music to show how they're put together. State-of-the-art digital animation helps visually reinforce the concepts. Includes surtitles, so the students can follow along and sing with the lyrics. The interactive program includes a great deal of student participation. No previous musical experience required.
