01 / A shared musical world
Created by Non/Sense Arts Foundation and presented with the Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra (JCSO), SOUNDCRAFT invites young people to discover the worlds music can create and find their own place in making it.
Led by Music Director Henry Cheng and featuring Minecraft YouTuber jazziiRed, the evening moves from JCSO and The Michael O’Neal Singers to a second half with young performers playing alongside professionals. The U.S. premiere of Minecraft X In C brings Terry Riley’s landmark composition to life through Minecraft and live instruments.
02 / The concert
First half
“The Dream of Flight” from Civilization VI, performed by JCSO with 100 voices from The Michael O’Neal Singers.
Music from Halo, Civilization IV, Advent Rising and Kingdom Hearts.
IV. Allegro con fuoco
Second half
Young participants sustain the original rhythmic pattern while professional musicians perform the shifting line, with jazziiRed and Minecraft integrated into the experience.
Young Minecraft players activate music boxes inside Minecraft alongside live instrumentalists. Repeating patterns overlap and textures change as each performer listens and decides how to contribute.
03 / Before the concert
Doors open at 6 PM. Discover art, gaming and technology before the 7:30 PM concert.
Rediscover familiar favorites in a zone curated with the Mimms Museum of Technology and Art. The planned selection includes Snow Bros., Wrecking Crew, Nights into Dreams and Shadow of the Ninja.
A VR experience supported by Fulton County’s Public Art Futures Lab takes visitors into the Minecraft world.
An installation by artist and Georgia Tech faculty member Hyojin Kwon explores connections between digital worlds and physical spaces.
