*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*

51XO partners with Ensemble Theatre to present “Art Music in the Dark”
April 8-9

Cleveland Heights, Ohio

FiveOne Experimental Orchestra (51XO) and Ensemble Theatre, both
Cleveland-based arts organizations and recent recipients of SEED Grants
from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, have launched a new Strategic
Partnership during the 2015-16 season which will be celebrated by two
performances of modern classical music and live improvised video art hosted
by Ensemble Theatre on April 8-9.

Executive Directors Celeste Cosentino (Ensemble Theatre) and Jeremy Allen
(51XO) met through the Rauschenberg Foundation in 2014 and immediately set
to work on ways to join forces. Art Music in the Dark, the two-evening
concert event which will benefit both 51XO and Ensemble Theatre, is the
first publicly presented result of this partnership, and exemplifies a
trend of local arts organizations teaming up to meet artistic and community
building goals more effectively through collaboration.

The multimedia concerts will feature recent classical musical works (all
composed since 2010) accompanied by projected video art, largely
manipulated in real time using iPad apps developed by Joshue Ott. The
concerts feature acoustic and electroacoustic works by Sarah Kirkland
Snider, Alexandra Gardner, Michael Bratt, Jeremy Allen and Nico Muhly,
among others.

Founded in 2008, FiveOne Experimental Orchestra is a Cleveland-based music
collective of ten composers and performers with a no-boundaries approach to
music.  Hailed by the Plain Dealer as “burst[ing] with inventive, energetic
spirit,” 51XO creates and performs a diverse stream of fresh,
new-perspective musical works and brings an intriguing meld of genres,
styles, and artistic disciplines to unusual spaces. The heart of 51XO's
mission is to invite both traditional and non-traditional concertgoers to
participate with open mind, ears, and hearts in a truly unique musical
experience that bridges the gap between pop culture and modern art music.
