Enjoy a double feature visit to UCLA this Sunday! From 1pm to 3pm, bring your family to Fowler Museum to be an architect! Create your building and add to the dream miniature neighborhood created collaboratively which will be projected on the wall!! This event will be in the Deutsch Seminar Room instead of the regular courtyard. but see the related photographic exhibit on monuments in former Yugoslavia which inspires this art project :)
Kids in the Courtyard: Become a Giant Architect
Collaborate on a miniature dream neighborhood with artist Yelena Zhelezov. Take inspiration from fantastical Los Angeles architecture and Jan Kempenaers’s photographs of monuments on display in Spomenik, then experiment with clay to construct your ideal building. Add your building to the others created and see a community come to life! Finally, Zhelezov will use a camera to project this fanciful landscape onto a wall as participants further embellish the scenes depicted there. The program will take place in the Museum’s Deutsch seminar room.
After the Fowler's creative event on the same day, walk over to Royce Hall before 4pm to enjoy a wonderful musical treat at UCLA Royce Hall for free.
American Youth Symphony is the premier young musicians' orchestra in Los Angeles and their concerts are always free and priority seating is given to supporting members of the AYS.
Besides the Bach double concerto for two violins and Beethoven's Symphony no: 7, the great treat for families new to orchestral music is Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra
"as a way of showing off the tone colours and capacities of the various sections of the orchestra. In the introduction, the theme is initially played by the entire orchestra, then by each major family of instruments of the orchestra: first the woodwinds, then the brass, then the strings, and finally by the percussion. Each variation then features a particular instrument in depth, in the same family order, and generally moving through each family from high to low. So, for example, the first variation features the piccolo and flutes; each member of the woodwind family then gets a variation, ending with the bassoon; and so on, through the strings, brass, and finally the percussion. After the whole orchestra has been effectively taken to pieces in this way, it is reassembled using an original fugue which starts with the piccolo, followed by all the woodwinds, strings, brass and percussion in turn. Once everyone has entered, the brass are re-introduced (with a strike on the gong) with Purcell’s original melody while the remainder continue the fugue theme until the piece finally comes to an end after building up to a fortissimo and Maestoso finish."
