The goal of this project is to create a new piece of music for voice, horn, marimba and guitar that will use a text addressing issues of sexual assault and recovery from that horrific experience. At least two performances are intended for the Fall of 2019 in Saint Paul and Spring of 2020 in Duluth. The outcomes could prove to be beneficial to all experiencing the event by exposure and awareness of this issue as well as performance opportunities for the musicians that will be participating. The completion of the work and its rehearsals and performances should prove to be one measure of its outcome. The response of the audience and performers should be another; some of the purposes of this artistic endeavor is to expand human empathy, experience and understanding. Audience attendance would another factor if one is looking for a way to quantify this.
Edification of those in attendance.
