The Universal Language of Music
Reeve Thomas
Armstrong Concert Hall
3:15PM

The Universal Language of Music describes the connection of different music cultures coming together. We are incorporating musicians that are a part of band, jazz, orchestra and contemporary arts ensembles. We want to work together to create a new language of music. I chose certain individuals that represent these particular instrumental ensembles to be a part of our ensemble. Other musicians and I will be composing music that brings the universal language together. By bringing universal language in music, we can make music together to communicate our message to general audiences across the world.
