This Summary musical fairy -tale for flute and piano with narration and props is intended to delight and expose children in Orange County to the art of classical music and storytelling. The performance will weave short pieces of narration with short pieces of music which take the audience on a journey with Luna as she encounters galloping horses, swimming turtles, and other creatures including a fierce dragon. The story comes alive with the addition of props such as hand puppets or marionnetes. We plan to create a version in Spanish for the Latino community as well. The full length program is 1 hour and 25 minutes but can be abridged to a 45 minute version. We have not secured a venue but will use funding from the grant to rent a community space such as the Century Center or the ArtCenter. There is potential to bring this program into other community spaces such as churches, libraries or schools. We will begin rehearsals in September and will be ready to perform in late Fall or early Winter. Community Impact This program uses the art of storytelling and music to illustrate how friendships can help one face and overcome life challenges. The two venues we're proposing as performance space can hold 300 people. If we bring the program to schools, there is potential to reach 500 students or more at each location. The creation and performance of a Spanish language version of the program could potentially reach many residents in Orange County who may not typically feel a connection to concerts or programs offered in the community. DocuSign Envelope ID: FA29CA8F- D6E2- 453B- 868C- 97CA7C7C8519 Artist Experience Alma Coefman, flutist and Kristin Trangsrud, pianist, have been collaborating since 2013. Individually, they have decades of experience sharing musical programs as soloists and orchestra members in many countries in South and North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. In addition, Ms. Coefman is a sought -after flute teacher, maintaining a busy flute studio in Chapel Hill. Ms. Trangsrud, former pianist at the Eno River Unitarian Fellowship (ERUUF) and Unity Church in Durham, has collaborated extensively with choirs and other musicians in the Triangle. Since 2011, Ms. Coefman has organized and performed in an annual concert of Hispanic classical fusion music at Duke University. These programs, co- sponsored by the Department of Romance Studies and the Spanish Language Program, have been a popular and widely attended event on campus and for the broader community, promoting and celebrating Hispanic cultural through the arts. In 2013, Ms. Trangsrud joined Ms. Coefman in this annual event to present Concertango II in the Nelson Music Room, showcasing the music of Argentinean composer, Astor Piazzolla. In 2014, Ms. Coefman received funding to bring in Argentinean guitarist, Miguel Charosky, to perform with her in a special concert at the Nasher Museum in celebration of the exhibit Miro, The Experience of Seeing. Both Coefman and Trangsrud have experience working creatively to engage youth in musical performances. Alma recently coached her flute students in a beautiful performance of Luna's Magic Flute. Trangsrud once co -led a successful performing arts tour in Russia for teens called Peace Child, which promoted international conflict resolution.
