An American Story
Carpe Diem String Quartet’s An American Story, an animated, interactive musical story about ancestry and immigration, is now available online for free on-demand viewing.
An American Story features four separate works, all composed and performed by Carpe Diem String Quartet. Each member of the quartet has written an original work that supports and describes a storyline that involves one of our ancestors, and how they came to immigrate to America. Each story is supported by beautiful animations by Janet Antich.
During the work, you’re presented with choice points…moments where you choose what happens next. Depending on the choices made, the performance will go one way or another - each viewing/listening experience is unique.
This is a free online event. Give-what-you-can donations gratefully accepted via PayPal.
