My name is Ian Chung and I am a composer. Kansas City’s Artistic Landmarks Through Musical Composition is a music recording project that expands our collective imagination as a society by connecting contemporary music with Kansas City’s landmarks. Inspired by the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, and the 18th and Vine Jazz District, new music will be written for flute, clarinet, violin, viola, cello, and piano. This project would allow audiences to engage with contemporary music with greater ease by connecting it to celebrated, well-known places in our community. The fund will be used for paying musicians, recording processes, venue rental, and promotion. The project will conclude with a live performance and recording, which will be available online.
