About the Programs
Trudy Williams (Artistic Director) and George Boziwick (Curator and Musical Director) create and produce research-based programs that are educational and entertaining for both general and expert audiences.
Through the Boziwick/Williams The Red Skies Music Ensemble's Public Musicology/Public History performance model, each program brings research to the stage through the lens of music in an engaging, research-based narrative, musical and theatrical performances, and large screen digitized images of archival documents and artifacts. These elements are combined in a single setting to bring the audience on journey that contextualizes historical and musicological facts and insights, many of which have been hidden in plain sight or dimmed in cultural memory. Programs include opportunities for audience participation, and conclude with a Q&A, often with a guest expert.
The Red Skies Tent
We welcome collaborative engagement with public and private institutions related to their mission, archives and special collections, as well as with affiliated and independent scholars, historians, musicologists, researchers and curators.
