From Touring the "Brain Opera" to Wiring Keith Lockhart of the Boston Pops
by Burt Albert, Series Developer, "Tuesdays with the Muse"

She has served as a musical director and vocal coach for magicians Penn and Teller.  She once wired Keith Lockhart of the Boston Pops, whose vital signs virtually danced in orbs and cubes on a screen as he conducted a medley from "The Sound of Music."   She has studied violin and conducting with some of today¹s finest musicians.  She has toured the world, with sensor-based electronic instruments, in a production of Tod Mochover¹s "Brain Opera."  And she is going to appear on Tuesday, May 15, 7 PM at the Cape Museum of Fine Arts in Dennis.   She is Teresa Marrin Nakra, musician, inventor, conductor and designer of new technologies for music performance. In a program called "Inside the Conductor¹s Jacket: Recent Studies in Gestural Music," Marrin will describe and demonstrate how high technology‹sensors, data acquisition techniques and computers‹can "measure and analyze the gestures of expert conductorsŠand how computer-based systems can Œsonify¹ or accompany similar gestures in real time." In her presentation she will use video and audio examples to explain the work that began when she was an honors student at Harvard and then at MIT¹s acclaimed Media Laboratory from which she received her Ph.D.   Serving as interlocutor for the program, which is part of the "Tuesdays with the Muse" series, will be Margaret Bossi, director of the Chatham Chorale. Marrin¹s professional music experience has been varied and extensive.  Currently artistic director for Boston-based Immersion Music, Inc., the gifted musician founded the Harvard-Radcliffe Conductors¹ Orchestra, directed and conducted two original opera premieres at Harvard and unearthed a lost Houdini song subsequently recorded by Debbie Harry. Recently at Symphony Hall, Boston, Marrin gave a Cyberarts Festival presentation of "Orchestral Music at the Technological Frontier." Marrin has demonstrated her work before a number of luminaries that range from Al Gore and George Soros to Lily Tomlin and the Flying Karamazov Brothers.  She has also been the subject of numerous newspaper articles, including features in "The New York Times,"  "The Boston Globe,"  "The Los Angeles Times" and "Le Monde." Admission to the Tuesday evening program is $6.50 for those with an Art Discovery Card.  Regular admission is $10 for members, $12 for others.
