Communiversity Concert: Arcomusical Sept. 21, 2021 • 7:30 p.m. Music on the Square Projeto Arcomusical is a world music sextet reimagining the Afro-Brazilian berimbau through unique and powerful chamber music. The ensemble formed in 2013 specifically to interpret MeiaMeia, the composition cycle co-composed by ensemble co-founders Gregory Beyer and Alexis C. Lamb. Arcomusical released MeiaMeia as its first album in 2016 on Innova Recordings. That same year Arcomusical received a Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning Grant that produced “Roda,” the kaleidoscopic, twenty-minute, four-movement work by Elliot Cole. “Roda” is featured on Arcomusical’s second album, “Spinning in the Wheel” now available on National Sawdust Tracks. arcomusical.com “Arcomusical’s music-making is elegant, colorful, bold, vibrant, inspiring and centered. The individual and collective world-class expertise of Arcomusical’s musicians make their performances sparkle!” – Augusta Read Thomas, University of Chicago DePauw students are uncommonly engaged in their education, and DePauw is one of those rare places that attracts and trains students who have multiple talents. The classic DePauw student is not just an exemplary scholar, but also a team captain, the student body president, and a community service leader. DePauw students are social, and they are welcoming. They are open to each other and to the world. DePauw students have a sense of joy in life, and a curiosity about themselves, about each other, and about the world. Our talented faculty offer our students personal attention in small classes, helping them hone their thinking, skills, and abilities in order to build a sound foundation for future success. DePauw's School of Music offers talented musicians the opportunity to develop their skills while receiving all the benefits of a strong liberal arts education. The DePauw University School of Music was founded in 1884 as the sixth music school in the United States. Its acclaimed 21st-Century Musician™ Initiative, known as 21CM™, and its uniquely impactful 21CMposium™ have established the school as a national leader in new approaches to music education and performance. 21CM re-imagines how undergraduate music curricula connects the high intellectual and performance standards of academic and conservatory training with the open-ended creative energy of the entrepreneur and artist when preparing emerging artists and developing musician-leaders.
