BATON ROUGE – Louisiana composers from the LSU School of Music will present a variety of experimental and electro-acoustic music on Monday, Oct. 18, during the annual “Cinema for the Ears” concert. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Manship Theatre, housed within the Shaw Center for the Arts in downtown Baton Rouge.
The LSU School of Music hosts this concert in partnership with the LSU Center for Computation & Technology's Laboratory for Creative Arts & Technologies and the Arts, Visualization, Advanced Technologies and Research, or AVATAR, Initiative in digital media.
Local composers Stephen David Beck, Tae Hong Park, Jesse Allison, Corey Knoll and Jeff Albert will perform original pieces using the ICAST Audio Sound Theatre, a 27-channel, state-of-the-art, surround-sound environment. ICAST’s capabilities far exceed typical movie theater sound quality and provide an immersive listening experience for the audience.
Cinema for the Ears also will feature pieces from renowned American composer and electro-acoustic music pioneer Jon Appleton and New Zealand electro-acoustic composer Denis Smalley.
The concert takes place with cabaret-style seating, and the composers will discuss their work with the audience prior to performing each piece.
Tickets to Cinema for the Ears are $12, with $6 discounted tickets for students or senior citizens. The Manship Theatre has a cash bar available during the concert.
