Rochester’s FiveByFive Ensemble Fuses Music with Technology, Film, Physics, and More

Experience an interdisciplinary lecture / recital of music by contemporary composers -- Mark Mellits, Jessica Meyer, Amy Nam, and Marc Webster -- with FiveByFive offering a discussion and demonstration of how music can become fantastical through technological enhancement and cross-field collaboration.

Featured pieces include Meyer’s multimedia depiction of a solar eclipse and a project that engages with the Nam’s experience as a composer-in-residence at the FermiLab.

About the presenters: Described as “classical turned loose in the toy store,” “top-flight,” and “imaginative,” fivebyfive is an award-winning, artist-led ensemble known for its impeccable musicianship and adventurous spirit that permeates innovative, cross-genre programming and community engagement. fivebyfive’s mission is to engage and inspire audiences via the creativity of today’s chamber music, advocating for creators who are underrepresented in the field and collaborating with partners across a wide array of disciplines.
