Cuttime Productions

A thought-provoking essay by Joao Rocha. How have you experimented with classical music to welcome or "hoover up" new audiences?

Why Artistic Excellence Alone is No Longer Enough in the Era of AI The other day, I started an article by saying I need to be honest with myself. This one is no different.

We enjoyed another collaboration with Society to Preserve the Millvale Murals of Maxo Vanka presenting the CutTIme Simfonica® string quartet ahead of their annual Holiday Lights Tour featuring the active church's fine Christmas display.

Audience came away commenting on how Director Rick Robinson's facial expressions enhanced the music. He replied, "This is what orchestra musicians look for in the conductor's face, gestures and body language... to guide the focus of the music/players and their emotional shapes."

This is CutTime®.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Learn about CutTime Simfonica® and how Mr. CutTime began experimenting in the Detroit Symphony Orchestra before moving to Pittsburgh in 2022.

Next Tuesday's (12/30) short, pre-tour concert 6:15pm at the Millvale Murals of Maxo Vanka will feature veteran Simfoni-cats Maureen Conlon Gutierrez, "Gio" Andrew Giordano, and Stephen Weiss joining "Mr. CutTime" Rick Robinson.

The program is a mix of seven slow classics, playing on the long acoustic delay and themes in Croatian painter Maxo Vanka's incredible Millvale Murals. Think candle light concert with fewer candles, as the Christmas display is truly wonderful.

Reservations are $25 and highly advised. See the link in Comments. Ask questions!
