\"April<\/a>It’s been a busy semester to say the least. Consequently, I hope you’ll forgive us for posting this announcement so close to the actual event.<\/p>\n

It is my great pleasure to announce the upcoming joint L2Ork<\/a>\/DISIS<\/a> spring event scheduled for April 17th 2010 (Saturday) in the Squires Recital Salon, starting at 7pm with the Boys & Girls Club of Roanoke, VA<\/a> children’s showcase, followed by the 8pm Benefit Concert.<\/p>\n

Apart from the L2Ork<\/a> 14-member ensemble, the program will also feature guest artists Matthew Burtner (UVA), Ron Coulter (SIUC) and Mark Engebretson (UNCG), as well as Virginia Tech Music Department’s<\/a> tremendously talented soprano Chelsea Crane. All donations will benefit Boys & Girls Club of Roanoke, VA.<\/p>\n

The 7pm program is geared mainly towards children and parents and will also include a demo hands-on session for visitors and parents alike. The 8pm benefit concert will be more experimental in nature, featuring numbers for L2Ork<\/a> and soloists, works by visiting artists, as well as musical robots and other innovative creative technologies.<\/p>\n

On April 20th, L2Ork will also embark on its maiden tour made possible through generous contributions by Virginia Tech’s Center for Creative Technologies in the Arts (CCTA<\/a>), Institute for Society, Culture & Environment (ISCE<\/a>), Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department (ECE<\/a>), Collaborative for Creative Technologies in the Arts & Design (CCTAD<\/a>), and Center for Human-Computer Interaction (CHCI<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The tour will include performances at the Cincinnati’s Conservatory of Music (April 20th) as part of the Sonic Exploration<\/em> concert series, Southern Illinois University (April 22nd), and Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (April 25th) as part of the International Intermedia Festival of Telematic Arts<\/a>.<\/p>\n
