Palm Beach Chamber Music Festival Needs Your Help to Fund New Season

Palm Beach Chamber Music Festival Funds New Season at GOFUNDME

Originally from the Palm Beach Chamber Music Festival GoFundMe page: http://www.gofundme.com/ev8nqo

The Palm Beach Chamber Music Festival is an exceptional venue of classical music talent in the South Florida area. I recently received a letter from the PBCMF indicating that they needed supporter help to host next season. This is a cultural treasure that has an incredible group of talented musicians, a few of which I have worked with in the past. Please take a moment to GIVE to this great cultural institution and to SHARE this on Twitter and social media. I typically do not have fundraising posts on NMR, but I think this is truly a great opportunity to support the arts. Thank you for your dedication to the arts and for being an avid reader of the New Music Resource. - Sabrina Peña Young, Composer and Editor of the NMR.

 The Palm Beach Chamber Music Festival is one of the oldest cultural institutions in Palm Beach County, presenting concerts in Delray Beach, West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens during the month of July for the past 23 years.  


Our mission is to serve all the communities in our county through chamber music concerts that delight and enlighten our audiences.  In 2013, PBCMF debuted a new fall series and is currently in a fundraising campaign for the 2nd Annual Fall Festival, a monthly series in Boca Raton, Lake Worth and Tequesta during September, October and November.  


As more and more performing arts organizations in South Florida wait until January to start their seasons, our fall concerts play an important role in the cultural landscape of our community.  Please consider making a donation to our Fall Festival now!

Top 10 Mistakes When Writing for Percussion

10. Indicating the wrong mallets for an instrument.
Brass mallets on vibes? Try a hammer on a violin!



9. Writing the glockenspiel part as heard.
You shouldn't have to climb a ladder of leger lines to read a glock part. Keep it in the staff.

8. When in doubt, adding more suspended cymbal.
This is a huge mistake made by arrangers. Yep, cymbals add automatic intensity to a piece, but so can a bass drum roll, a rousing hand drum part, exciting mallet licks, or a hundred other combinations. Well-written percussion parts stand out in the band and church repertoire.



7. Better means more complicated, right?
This is my main mistake. A percussion part can be simple enough for a middle school, but it is the ability to use the different tone colors of the percussion palette properly that indicates a maturity in writing, not that impossible part for the timpanist that has them playing timpani, gong, crash cymbals, and triangle in the span of two beats.

6. Never trust Band-in-a-Box to write the timpan…

I thought at the time that music was more of a discovery from inside out rather than learning how to place your fingers at the keyboard and play what you see. Of course when I grew up and at the age of 19 I understood what is the meaning of a composition and I was intrigued, as I started guitar, music theory and music harmony lessons where I obtained my first degree in music, by the story of each composition and about the mechanics of it.

I later decided to study on my own counterpoint, fugue and to start analysing scores from quartets to symphonies of the great classical composers. Now I am living in the UK and I am pursuing a career in the music industry. I already have scored 3 short f…
