New Resonance Orchestra presents Too Many Notes: An immersive concert featuring Tucker Fuller’s world-premiere piano concerto with soloist Brian Hsu, supported by Musical Arts Society of New Orleans, at the New Marigny Theater.

Performances at the New Marigny Theater, 2301 Marais St, New Orleans

June 13 & 14, 8 p.m.

“Too Many Notes” is an immersive concert that pulls back the curtain on musical creation, revealing creativity and excellence as a process, not a product. Featuring a full symphony orchestra conducted by Francis Scully, the performance begins with Mozart’s Symphony No. 41 “Jupiter,” staging Mozart’s compositional process as a graceful dance between structure and play, rules and freedom. The second part of the concert presents the world premiere of Tucker Fuller’s Piano Concerto with soloist Brian Hsu. As a prelude to the performance of the full concerto, audience members roam about the theater interacting with five student pianists as they practice etudes built from thematic and technical passages from the new concerto. These interactions not only introduce listeners to the musical material and the technical challenges of the new concerto, but they allow the audience to get an inside look at the learning process. Through the staging and musical performances, listeners embrace an alternative concept of musical creativity and virtuosity as a collaborative process between individual and community, technique and imagination, imperfection and growth.
