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!

A Composer's Brief Guide to Percussion Mallets

When composing for percussion, it is important to know the difference between a variety of mallets. Although in most cases the percussionist will choose the proper mallets for the passage, sometimes as a composer, you want a particular sound. It is always good to research a mallet before indicating it in your score. Consult a percussion catalogue for a more in-depth look at the hundreds of mallets available. 1. YARN MALLETS They come in every dynamic range from supersoft baseball-sized to forte. They are the multi-purpose mallet, used for toms, suspended cymbal rolls, marimba, xylophone, woodblock, and pretty much anytime a percussionist doesn't have time to pick up another mallet. 2. CORD MALLETS These are harder than the yarn mallets. More effective on xylophone and vibes, these mallets can also be used for a variety of percussion instruments. 3. BRASS MALLETS These are for use on the glockenspiel/bells and the occasional brake drum. They produce a more "tinny" kind of ...

Percussion 101: How to Play Hand Crash Cymbols

Young Girl Plays Cymbals The hand cymbals (or crash cymbals ) are extremely versatile percussion instruments . The hand cymbals are used in the military, drum and bugle corps , the orchestra, and wind ensembles. Proper percussion hand cymbal technique takes many years of practice and hard work, as well as stamina and upper body strength. The most common use of the hand cymbals is in the drum line, whether in a high school band or a professional drum and bugle corps. Two cymbals are held by straps to the cymbal player's hands. In marching band and drum and bugle corps, the cymbal player often will loop their own hand in the strap, then grab the strap.  Protect Your Hands Tape, strap pads, and gloves are often used to protect the cymbal player's hands from blisters and the slow grinding away of skin during a lengthy band show. In the orchestra setting, where the crash cymbal is often reserved for music accents and shorter music passages, the percussion player does...
