"It has been far too long since IndyFringe has had a purely musical offering, and its return is a celebration of innovation and joy. This show is a refreshing diversion from other fare." - Plays by John and Wendy

ABOUT THE SHOW:

Sympathetic Resonance takes the audience on a journey of individualism through the exploration of distinct musical styles. This new piece is comprised of 6 miniature acts, each written by a different composer and spotlighting a specific instrumentalist. The overall effect poetically demonstrates the bold uniqueness of each voice through the non-verbal aesthetic of music, and ultimately leads to the realization of how human expressions can be both an individual accomplishment as well as a contribution to the collective.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

For nearly a decade in Indianapolis, Forward Motion has advocated for the creation of new works by presenting innovative performances in a variety of spaces. The ensemble focuses on the performance of new works and free improvisations. Forward Motion’s core instrumentation consists of flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano and percussion; the group's activity is fluid and involves many innovative combinations of this core instrumentation. The core members regularly compose for the group bringing about a wide-range of creative expressions.

The original music in this production was composed by Rob Funkhouser, Luke Garrigus, Cat Hoelscher, Logan Purcell, and Amanda S. This production features performers Jennifer Page (flute), Eric Salazar (clarinet), Angela Pulliam (violin), Maya Nojiri (cello), Ashton Vickery (piano), and Corey Denham (percussion).

CA: This production is recommended for all ages.

Hear your art come to life! Graphic scoring is a process where visual descriptions or marks (often abstract), are interpreted by musicians and turned into sound. Patrons in this workshop will be shown examples of graphic scores performed by Forward Motion, a contemporary Indianapolis-based group that performs and produces original compositions. Next, participants will be guided through the creation of their own pieces of visual art. These will be interpreted and performed by Forward Motion during the workshop. Registration begins two weeks prior. Ages 5 and up. 

This program is great for people of all ages.

Choral Concert: Stabat Mater

Saturday, March 28, 2026 – 7:30 p.m.

Our Saint Bartholomew Concert Series marks the beginning of the Holy Week with a masterpiece of the sacred repertoire, the Stabat Mater (At the Cross Her Station Keeping) by Italian composer, Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868). A chorus combining singers from St. Bartholomew Catholic Church and Fairlawn Presbyterian Church in Columbus and from Roberts Park United Methodist Church and St. John United Church of Christ in Indianapolis, with professional orchestra and soloists perform the hour-long, ten-movement piece. It blends virtuosic bel canto arias, a cappella choral sections, and strict contrapuntal fugues. Please come enjoy this special event and support our musical projects! Free admission, donations are welcome.

This intense, dramatic piece brings together four interdenominational churches to tell the story of Mary at the cross as she recognizes what Christ has sacrificed for mankind. Come experience the sacrifice, love and passion of our Lord in this unique way.
