Encore Creativity Masterclass #10: “Music of Life” with Composer B.E. Boykin
February 26 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm EST
B.E. Boykin, composer, pianist, and educator, joins Encore University’s Masterclass series for a discussion on composition, inspiration, and creativity, presented special for Encore Creativity!
Boykin, an Alexandria native, is the renowned composer of new classic choral works Music of Life, We Sing As One, Consolamini, and more. The process of choral composition is a personal journey with inspiration, muse, and music. How does music affect our lives, and what part of our lives do we bring to the composition process?
In this 90-minute Masterclass, B.E. Boykin will bring her compositions to the Zoom classroom for a conversation specifically for Encore Creativity for Older Adults. Join this presentation for a vibrant conversation on the writing process, the inspiration behind Boykin’s choral compositions, her techniques and methods in writing for different ensembles, and how music can connect audiences, singers, and composers alike. Join the composer of one of Encore Creativity’s works for the Spring 2024 semester and walk along the journey behind its creation!
