Passionately crafted by Peabody Computer Music students in an intimate but energetic space, VIBES is a monthly concert series that inspires innovation and collaboration.
Every VIBES event is a unique experience with its own atmosphere and intention, carefully curated by the student staff around a theme. Each theme helps those involved shape that concert's identity. Suggested materials are provided to prospective composers as an optional impetus for unique exercises in composition. Every concert has its own host, designated as its concertmaster, who contributes to that performance's suggested materials, programming and presentation.
The VIBES student staff aims to provide professionally run, artistically engaging and mentally engrossing events with high fidelity documentation to celebrate the unique artistry of the Peabody Computer Music department. All Peabody students are encouraged to submit their work, and are further encouraged to collaborate with their peers. Every event will have a following reception for the audience, composers and performers to encourage discussion and continue to build a community of Peabody electroacoustic composers.
In year 2019-2020, with the support of the Dean's Incentive Grant from JHU, VIBES is hosting a brand new series of events more phenomenal than ever. First there is a collaborative concert project with the Peabody Dance department, then performances during the 2020 Peabody Hackathon, and even more performances celebrating Peabody Computer Music's 50-year anniversary. A bright future awaits!
The dates and themes for the current and pass seasons are listed below. The VIBES student staff may be contacted through VIBESpeabody@gmail.com for inquiries or submissions. Many of our pictures are taken by Peabody tenor Mofan Lai!
