(SUMMIT, NJ) -- Later this fall, the public will have the opportunity to join the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey (VACNJ) for The Adjacent Possible, a virtual experience that mixes music, improvisational performance, storytelling, and technology. The project, which was conceived by artist Joshua-Michele Ross and brought to life through a partnership with Adam Brick and Adam Lucas, originally began as a series of physical performances but was forced to go virtual with the onset of COVID-19.
The installments at VACNJ will take place from 1:00pm–2:00pm on two separate dates -- October 22 and November 12 -- and during each, participants will be guided through instrument selection, practice, rehearsal, and performance by a “conductor,” transforming the group into a collaborative, virtual orchestra.
Tickets for this event are available to the public at artcenternj.org for a suggested donation of $5. No previous music-making experience is necessary. Visit theadjacentpossibleorchestra.com for more information.
