    "For many years I have striven to develop a style of classical improvisation. The art of improvising did not fare as well in classical as in popular and jazz musics in the last century. I am interested in helping to revive this lost art, once practiced by the great classical composers as readily as composition itself."

About Music Island

Music Island Concerts was established in 2007 as an artist collective for the presentation of live "art" music within Second Life.  Founded by Kate Miranda as a project of the Cedar Island Open-learning community, the series has collaborated in the presentation of projects and series with some of Second Life's most well-known musicians, artists and educators.

Projects have ranged from a full symphony concert featuring Sinfonia Leeds (a UK community orchestra) to not-possible-in-real-life experimental multi-media art to the 2009 Persieds festival of music, art, literature and lectures inspired by a unifying theme of meteors and falling stars.

This website is a place to learn about upcoming Music Island concerts and events and a place for site members to share photos, comments and videos from Second Life musical events.
