Eastern Florida Music Professor to Collaborate in Italy

Dr. Chan Ji Kim, an 新澳门六合彩开奖记录 Associate Professor of Music, will join a group of musicians this summer in Italy to compose music for a ballet opera based on Shakespeare鈥檚 The Tempest.

The opera will be performed at the Music Conservatory of Bari Performing Art Hall in Bari, Italy, July 3-4. Kim will compose the ballet鈥檚 final scene, called 鈥淭his Rough Magic,鈥� produced by an acoustic chamber ensemble.

She was invited by the Conservatory of Bari Ballet Opera to collaborate on the project with faculty members from the University of Rome, Conservatory of Bari, Italy, University of California and New York University.

鈥淚'm thrilled about this collaboration,鈥� said Dr. Kim. 鈥淚t will be a great event. We鈥檙e planning to have newspaper coverage for the performance and also have a TV interview in Bari. One of TV channels will broadcast parts from the opera ballet.鈥�

The work celebrates Shakespeare鈥檚 achievements and his lasting influence over the past 400 hundred years.

Kim is also participating on a new CD project, Short Homage Postcards, with seven other composers. All the compositions are in memoriam to composers who have recently died. Her original piece, La Passeggiata, will be produced by Perugia Records in Italy. The CD will be out sometime next year.

鈥淚 always encourage my students to collaborate with other artists to share their unique ideas,鈥� said Kim. 鈥淎rtists can learn so much from each other through the collaborative process.鈥�
