MONTOPOLIS
|
Experience Austin's creativity at its finest! The Music for Enchanted Rock multi-media performance features a slideshow of Rip Shaub's stunning landscape photography, legends of Enchanted Rock as told by Amy Bluemel, and the music of Montopolis that Texas Monthly calls "the great long-lost collaboration between Ennio Morricone and Phillip Glass that we didn't know we were missing."
Montopolis is an indie chamber music group from Austin, Texas that performs the works of composer Justin Sherburn. Their music folds country and folk idioms into modern classical arrangements with inventive instrumentation to create "stunning and transcendent" (Austin Chronicle) concerts. Their programs are audience-engaging, multi-media events that combine live music with video and interactive story telling.
