This event has been canceled due to COVID-19 safety protocols to reduce the risk of a rise in new COVID-19 cases at UCLA.
After a weekend of intensive workshops and bootcamps on best practices in community engagement with student chamber music groups of the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, Decoda, the affiliate ensemble of Carnegie Hall, will present their works-in-progress in an informal workshop performance for the public.
Decoda is a collective of versatile musicians committed equally to virtuosic performance and audience engagement across the globe. Decoda's flexible instrumentation, from trios to large mixed ensembles, allows for unique concert experiences for a vast array of audiences, from concert halls to schools, hospitals, prisons, and office buildings. Emerging from Carnegie Hall's Ensemble Connect, Decoda seeks to engage, inspire, and create a more compassionate and connected world through music.
Decoda was founded in 2012 by musicians who first collaborated as members of Ensemble Connect, a two-year fellowship program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and the Weill Music Institute in partnership with the NYC Department of Education. As the Affiliate Ensemble of Carnegie Hall, Decoda's work gains as an independent collective gains inspiration by this shared training focused on developing skills as exemplary performers, dedicated teachers, and passionate advocates for music in communities worldwide.
This event is made possible by the David and Irmgard Dobrow Fund. Classical music was a passion of the Dobrows, who established a generous endowment at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music to make programs like this possible. We are proud to celebrate this program as part of the 2021 - 22 Dobrow Series.
