Mixed, an adjective, meaning consisting of different qualities or elements; the word can be interchanged with others like assorted, varied, and combined.

Media, the plural form of the word medium, the noun refers to the main means of mass communication regarded collectively, or simply put, a collection of presentations in various forms.
The Symphonic Band, conducted by Associate Director of Bands Richard Frey, presents a concert probably unlike any you have ever seen before on the Griffin Concert Hall stage: the Symphonic Band presents Mixed Media, an artistic and collaborative effort that will capture audiences in both visual and auditory splendor.

Inspired by the world of film, theatre, and dance, Mixed Media fuses together these various genres, and features multiple media with live music, creating an immersive audio and visual experience with a wide range of sounds and styles.

This is a program not to be missed lightly.

“Each of these pieces are influenced by or connected to other artistic elements,” said Dr. Frey. “Every piece will have an added ‘something’ to it.”

With a popular music influence and recognizable tunes throughout, this is anything but a typical large ensemble concert. “It’s an approachable concert, we want there to be a sense of playfulness and lightness to it,” said Dr. Frey.

This Dec., if you’re not feeling the holiday mood just yet, or you just want to see and hear something completely different and new, go no further, it’s already found you.
Symphonic Band’s Mixed Media can be seen and heard on Dec. 11, 7:30 p.m. Tickets available at CSUArtsTickets.com.
