Fear No Music

Fear No Music and Classical Revolution PDX present Eine Brise in conjunction with Pedalpalooza 2012

Fear No Music and Classical Revolution PDX present Eine Brise (“a breeze”) by composer-trickster Mauricio Kagel. Scored for 111 bicyclists riding in a tight, controlled formation, and playing bells, whistling, humming and making tongue-clucks, the performance is part of Pedalpalooza 2012. Performers are needed and advance notice of your intent to participate is requested. Read more about it here.

We’ll be heading into the studio to record a CD of the phenomenal Portland composer, Bonnie Miksch’s music.

Dear Friends and Fans of FearNoMusic,

FearNoMusic and it’s educational outreach program, the Young Composers Project were honored to have been selected to participate as one of 100 featured nonprofits in the 2011 Willamette Week Give!Guide! In total, we raised  the most we have ever raised in a single month! What a great gift from our community on our 20th Anniversary – THANK YOU!

These funds will go far in helping us grow and expand our Young Composers Project, as well as continue to bring Portland innovative concerts and projects that feature musicians and artists from around the world while maintaining a special interest in those from Oregon and the Northwest.

We are immensely grateful to our business partner in the Give!Guide, the great Classic Pianos for their generosity and support, to our 20th Anniversary sponsors, the amazing Willamette Week, and to adventurous new music lovers throughout the Northwest for all the support you have given us for the last 20 years!

Don’t miss our special Give!Guide video featuring the Young Composers Project, and be sure to check out these audio excerpts from the brilliant young minds of the YCP at our 2010-11 Young Composers Concert.
