Orchestral Installation

An evening of music can be exciting to the ear, the intellect, and the eye. Anne Patterson is expanding the boundaries within which classical music is presented.

Anne Patterson creates a simple visual language of scenery and lighting which is then manipulated throughout the performance in response to the music. The addition of these visuals is done in a sensitive and intelligent way. The beauty and magic of the music is the inspiration for these ideas. Therefore these additional elements complement rather than compete with the music. The goal of these endeavors is to enhance the concert experience for the audience member. These initiatives have attracted new audiences, specifically a younger more visually oriented group. This visual enhancement is a way to open the door into the power and beauty of the live classical music performance to the person who might otherwise not visit a concert hall.

In many ways a concert is inherently a theatrical experience. The inclusion of scenery and lighting just makes it explicit.
