Bringing classical music to students is not always easy. Except when you incorporate the hottest pop artists into it. Then students and kids around the world will be more than happy to listen.
At least that’s the idea behind Collective Cadenza (CDZA), a group that invents “musical video experiments” that mashup today’s hits with the classics of, well, classical music. That’s the idea behind most of the videos. Others are just plain fun to listen to and watch.
The group started out at Julliard and turned into quite the mob with more than 55 musicians helping to create some memorable tracks. Below are some of their videos. Great stuff to incorporate into your classroom!
This is a stunning collection of videos showing the fun we can have in music. Some might take music and themselves too serously in the performance of music but I think there should also be appreciation for the joy it can bring when perhaps applied in less traditional ways. Thanks for sharing and brightening my online morning.
