Since day one at Alarm Will Sound, our work has been about innovation and experimentation. At every opportunity since then, we have challenged ourselves and the conventions of our field to be more expansive, daring, and dynamic.
Like ensembles the world over, Alarm Will Sound is profoundly challenged by the effects of COVID-19. A string of cancelled engagements and the reality that we may not be able to play in the same room together for a long time are challenging the very notion of what our ensemble is. But we see this as a creative opportunity. Harnessing our core value of experimentation, we are discovering new kinds of music-making and music-sharing.
From challenging formal conventions to pushing for inclusion of under-represented artists, Alarm Will Sound has always been driven by a desire to adapt and expand the expectations of an ensemble-music experience. The most recent manifestation of this commitment is the Matt Marks Impact Fund, launched in 2018 to invest in composers and artistic practices that diversify the new music field.
We see this moment as our next step in activating our mission to expand and redefine what ensemble music-making looks like. Our creative experiments will have the most value if they are not just stop-gap measures, but inspire us through and beyond the current crisis.
Can you make a gift to Alarm Will Sound today to invest in the next wave of evolution in music?
We know that making and experiencing music together is one of the most enduring human impulses, and we look forward to sharing space and sound with you in person soon. In the meantime, we hope you will join us in a spirit of audacious exploration to create the music of this moment.
Thank you for being a champion of musical bravery and exploration. May those same values buoy and sustain your spirits in the weeks to come.
