Ypsilanti Freighthouse
The Regenerate! Orchestra
Priority access for Ypsi residents through Mar 27
The Regenerate Orchestra, which is made up of community members of every stripe, comes together to bring Ypsilanti a one-of-a-kind musical experience.
Regenerate! aims to provoke a joyful revolution in classical music, reconstructing the standard orchestra with healing at its foundation.
Any and all music-makers are invited to perform with the Orchestra. Participants will meet twice to engage in sonic meditations, conversations about listening, and structured improvisations. Featured music may include classical, ambient, folk, and noise music, all orchestrated based on the instrumentation of those who sign up.
This will be a free ticketed event, with reservations open to Ypsilanti residents on Tuesday, March 14 and the general public on Tuesday, March 28.
Register to Perform with The Regenerate! Orchestra (Deadline: Mon Apr 10)
All are invited to participate, even if you’ve never played with others, don’t read music, or only know a few chords on the guitar! Participants will rehearse twice, on Sunday, April 23 from 4-7 pm and Wednesday, April 26 from 6-7 pm before the performance. All meetings will be catered with local food.
The Regenerate! Orchestra includes a diverse assembly of students, hobbyists, professionals, folk musicians, classical musicians, pop musicians, seasoned experts, and complete beginners. Register now.
