Academy of the West invites you to observe a Virtual Masterclass and musical
performance showcasing a groundbreaking collaboration between technology
and music, made possibly by the Music Academy of the West, Santa Barbara
City College, Cox communications, the University of California Santa Barbara
(UCSB), and Santa Barbara Sound Design. Vocal and instrumental musicians
interact and perform with one another in real-time via a live sound-video
transmission from two separate venues.
Anne Epperson, Music Academy of the West faculty artist and UCSB's Director
of Keyboard Collaborative Arts, leads a collaborative piano masterclass followed
by a performance with accomplished Music Academy alumni and UCSB students:
Baritone Justin Plank and pianist Margaret McDonald. This orchestration of
technoogy and music, held at the Fé Bland Forum, Santa Barbara City College,
on May 8, 2003, demonstrated the new "telepresent" technology, which
promises to have an impact on business, education, and the entertainment industry.
