Cornerstone Center for the Arts
Auditorium
520 E Main, Muncie, IN 47305
Ball State University's chapter of the National Association for Music Education is partnering with Cornerstone Center for the Arts to host a FREE recital to showcase music education students. One of the primary motivations of planning this recital is to not only display the work and talent of Ball State Music Education students, but to provide the Muncie Community with live music. This recital will consist of a variety of music and ensembles including: Clarinet duet, trumpet ensemble, woodwind quintet, a vocalist, and more. Come on out and we hope to see you!

- 4 by 4 at 4: MSO Chamber Concert with PlySpace Resident Artist Melissa Joy Livermore 4pm to 6pm @ PlySpace Enter through parking lot entrance 608 E Main St.
Muncie Arts and Culture Council's new artist-in-residence program PlySpace welcomes the Muncie Symphony Orchestra Chamber Concert series to the PlySpace Gallery for a special collaborative performance with resident artist Melissa Joy Livermore. 4 by 4 at 4 features a string quartet performing alongside Livermore's ongoing project, Deconstruction, where guests will engage in the act of taking apart a piece of untreated canvas, thread by thread. Four genres of music, from Baroque to Cole Porter, by four strings musicians will be performed in the PlySpace Gallery. During the concert, PlySpace resident artist Melissa Joy Livermore invites the audience to participate in her community collaborative project, Deconstruction.
Deconstruction is a project that invites groups of people to engage in the task of taking a piece of untreated canvas apart, thread by thread. The process is intuitive and allows the participants to focus their attention on the present moment, engaging with those around them, or in this case, the music. Over the last three years, Melissa has performed Deconstruction with groups in China, France, and the U.S. and is excited to bring this performance to Muncie.
Holding the opposite end of the fabric provides the tension necessary to pull each thread from the whole. In a split second, the tension is released and the thread flutters, dropping into a pile. Each thread serves as documentation of time carved out for introspection, intentional conversation, and listening. The act encourages participants to slow down and observe the beauty of the falling thread and the environment around them.

Cost: Menu Purchase This free monthly event for live poetry reading at The Cup will pair flow with joe, rhythm and brews, beats and beans, and result in many a steamed stanza. I'm Miss Moth and I’ll be your Host and I have only one rule for Cuplets: Buy something from The Cup, each and every one of you, no exceptions. :) They've got espresso, coffee, chai, tea, soda, juice, and yummy food too, from bagels to sandwiches and more. That's right, support your scene with a few bucks to the venue. Don't worry about tipping me, but I'm sure the baristas would appreciate the support too. Let's keep them busy!
I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR YOUR POETRY!
Cuplets is not curated, everyone is welcome to read. I know y'all are nice and will match the length of your reading to the attendance level so everyone has a chance to read. Read new work or old, rhyme or don't. If it's poetry to you, it's poetry at Cuplets!
Many thanks to the owner of The Cup, Martin George, for inviting me to create this monthly event! And a big ol' thank you to Lucian Cruor for the poetry/café word pairings above! :)
