World Premiere Forum

March 5 @ 7pm

FREE and open to the public

Hosted by Erie News Now’s Lisa Adams, composer Vivian Fung and trumpet soloist Mary Elizabeth Bowden present an insightful program on the compositional process of a 'world premiere'.

  • Where does this new melody come from?

  • Who decides the overall theme, structure, melodic key, etc.

  • Should it sound happy, sad, scary, or a good mix of the above?

All of your questions will be answered as we hear from two of the leading female musicians in the country as they prepare for the world premiere of Fung's Concerto for Trumpet on March 7 with the Erie
Philharmonic.
