2nd Annual Composer-Librettist “Speed Dating” August 22nd 5-7pm!
Searching for your creative soulmate? They could be waiting for you at Composer-Librettist "Speed Dating" on Saturday August 22nd at 5pm!
Join us for the 2nd Annual Composer‑Librettist "Speed Dating" Event at First Unitarian Church LA (2936 W 8th St), presented by Overtone Industries in collaboration with Synchromy Music and Rent Poet.
This event pairs artists who want to tell bold, contemporary stories through opera—and if that's you, you'll want to snag your ticket before we run out of space.
It's also the day we begin accepting applications to Original Vision, an incubator program from Overtone Industries dedicated to original stories of mythic proportion through the development and presentation of new and innovative opera-theater. Perhaps you and your new collaborator will be moved to apply like last year's participants Brian Sonia-Wallace and Samara Rice!
What to expect:
> In a series of timed conversations, you’ll explore new collaborations with like-minded composers and librettists.
> You'll also have the opportunity to enjoy performances from Kion Heidari, Rae Shrum, Hsin-Hua Wang, and Ianthe Marini performing works from TIME IS THE ENEMY by Samara Rice and Brian Sonia-Wallace and HYSTERIA by Molly Pease and Divya Maus, both previous productions of Original Vision.
> Afterwards, we'll host a short reception for more mixing, mingling, snacking, and connection!
