Recorder Extended Technique
You will hear the orchestra making fluttery, wind-like sounds with their instruments. You can join in by making a special sound on your recorder: Hold it sideways, blow into the thumb hole, and wiggle your fingers over the holes.
Learn fundamental concepts of music and engage in creative activities through a deeper exploration of the ideas and themes of the Link Up repertoire.
Angélica Negrón (b. 1981) is a Brooklyn-based composer and multi-instrumentalist born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where she got her early musical training in piano and violin. Interested in creating intricate yet simple narratives that evoke intangible moments in time, Negrón writes music for accordions, robotic instruments, toys, and electronics, as well as chamber ensembles and orchestras. She has also composed scores for films, modern dance, and experimental theater. As a longtime participant in the Puerto Rican underground music scene, Negrón is a founding member of the electro-acoustic pop outfit Balún. Also active as a music educator, she is a teaching artist for the New York Philharmonic’s Very Young Composers program and co-founder of Acopladitos, a Spanish immersion music program for young children.
