Gideon Freudmann is on the rosters of Young Audiences chapters in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Oregon/SW Washington.
He has inspired young musicians, future musicians and their teachers across the country with his accessible style and
informative presentation. In addition to leading improvisation workshops and conducting his own original string ensembles,
he offers two assembly programs: CelloBop and Sound Science.
CelloBop is a whirlwind 500 year history of the cello - it's past present and future. Gideon plays excerpts from various periods
of the cello repertoire intermixed with explanations about the cello's construction and tone. He demonstrates how the conventional acoustic
instrument is played and also plugs in his futuristic electric cello and shows students how it can be used to create
an even wider range of sounds and lends itself to many other styles of music. Gideon's program, CelloBop, includes some classical,
blues, swing, jazz, rock and bluegrass as well as spontaneous improvised music.
Sound Science is a fun and enlightening examination of where art and science meet. Demonstrating the tonal qualities of the acoustic
and electric cellos, Gideon clearly explains the mathematical aspects of music such as how music is divided into beats, measures and
phrases, and the acoustic qualities including sound vibrations, pitch and timbre. Using the electric cello and real-time digital effects,
he shows how notes can be echoed, repeated, distorted and augmented in many exciting and unexpected ways.
Program Titles: CelloBop; Sound Science
Audience Limit: 250/performance
