Additional cash prizes will also be awarded for runner-ups.
Think of the possibilities! Paint it! Weave it! Decorate it! Hang things on it! Give it a “theme!” Give it a “make-over!” Give Chain-Link a chance! Entry fee for this great Labor Day weekend event is only $25.00, and anyone can enter on line at www.hidesertculturalcenter.com or by calling 760.366.3777 by August 28, 2010.

JOSHUA TREE, CA – On April 17, the live musical concert performance world will truly enter into the 21st Century -- and Hi-Desert Cultural Center President, Jarrod Radnich, will be leading the charge. In a first-of-its-kind concert performance at the legendary Strathmore Music Center in Bethesda, Maryland, concert goers will see and hear history in the making. With Radnich, touted as one of this nation’s most promising up-and- coming composers and pianists, performing from Joshua Tree’s Blak Box Theatre, the team will be the featured performers at this world-class event.
With two Yamaha Disklavier grand pianos connected to each other over the Internet, Radnich’s keystrokes and foot peddling in Joshua Tree are faithfully reproduced live on the grand piano at the Strathmore, with every nuance of Radnich’s performance perfectly duplicated on the remote piano. “It’s literally as if his fingers and feet travel through space from Joshua Tree to Bethesda. There is no difference in the two live performances the audiences experience, even though they are separated by thousands of miles. Each audience hears exactly the same music coming from the grand piano at their venue,” explains Knudsen... MORE INFO |
