The Business of Music Seminar

“Tools to help you monetize your love of music and create the career you want”

Tuesday, November 27th 6-8 PM

Fee: $40 adult

Student Fee: $25 with valid ID

CALL 610-868-2971 Ext. 3185 to register or register online (service fees apply)

Curtis Brengle and Julie Ragins are both 30-year veterans in the music industry and they know what it takes to survive and thrive as professional musicians. They have seen first hand talented young musicians hitting the scene in Los Angeles who have no understanding of how the industry works today. How does a new musician stand a chance in cutting through all the noise and finding the success they want? Without a good understanding of how to market themselves, musicians will find it very difficult to monetize their love of music. This seminar will help the musician or vocalist begin to nurture their entrepreneurial spirit, to understand the value of branding and marketing strategies, see the power of good social interaction skills, and the importance of knowing your audience and turning fans into advocates. READ MORE ABOUT THE SEMINAR ITINERARY.

Curtis Brengle has toured/performed with Ray Charles, Tom Scott, Sheena Easton, the Pointer Sisters, Chaka Kahn, Rick Braun, Engelbert Humperdinck (musical director), Peaches and Herb, Deniece Williams, and Jeff Golub. As an artist for the Yamaha Corp. he recorded hundreds of pieces of music. Additionally, he has recorded for Richard Smith (co-producer), Barry Manilow, arranged thousands of songs for the Muzak Corporation, Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO), Jeff Koz, Disney, and ESPN. Julie Ragins has toured / performed with: The Moody Blues, Justin Hayward, Sergio Mendes, Cherrie Curry (the Runaways), Wild Cherry, the Manhattans, Queen Latifa, The Glen Miller Orchestra, Chayanne, Laura Pausini, Barbara Mason, and Gene Chandler, and has appeared on American Idol as an on-camera vocal coach.

Venture Academy V #3

VENTURE ACADEMY V SUMMER 2018

Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts

321 East 3rd Street, Bethlehem

Wednesdays 6:15 – 8:00 pm

June 6, June 13, June 20

This session’s theme:

ENCOUNTERING OUTSIDER ART IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD:

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

Your Guide: Norman Girardot, Professor Emeritus, Lehigh University

To Register: Call 610-868-2971 ext. 3185

What is Venture Academy?

Now in its fifth installment, this series of guided explorations is designed to promote provocative ideas, images, and sensations for venturesome adults seeking to cope with an increasingly complex, bewildering, exciting, wondrous, and sometimes scary world. “LIFE IS AN ADVENTURE: A pilgrim’s journey for the young of mind and heart.”

These sessions are open to the public and all proceeds benefit the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts.

More about this session:

SESSION DATES:
June 6 (In the Beginning was the Mark),
June 13 (An Angel of Art Cometh to Bethlehem),
June 20 (Saving Mr. Imagination’s Environmental Vision)

THEME & DESCRIPTION:
ENCOUNTERING OUTSIDER ART IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD
UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

A series of special guided explorations about the mysteries of human art-making (both visual and performative) and why art is not just what certain white men called “artists” (who learned how to draw representationally and perspectively) defined as the only “real” art. There is, in fact, a whole other universal and global tradition of skillfully and imaginatively “making visible” or “making/seeing/experiencing something hidden and special in the world.” This includes tribal art, children’s art, art of the insane, prison art, self-taught art, visionary art, folk art, and so on – or just about everything outside of what elite Western tradition presumptuously called fine or schooled art by excluding everything else. In the contemporary sense, to be an “outsider,” or in this case, an “outsider artist,” loosely means someone who in some fashion is marginal to mainstream culture, someone who does not depend on, or conform to, what is taken as the prevailing cultural norms. There can, of course, be a light and dark side to being an outsider in that real innovative forward-looking creativity, or a dark regressive demonology, can both flow from a culturally unmoored imagination. Be careful.Venture Academy V will explore some of these issues in a general and semi-traditional historical and academic way (lectures, films, discussion), but will focus primarily on a concrete case of outsider art as exemplified by Bethlehem’s own late great outsider “found object” artist Mr. Imagination (aka Gregory Warmack, 1948-2012; see among numerous other articles and videos, catalog essays, and book chapters, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO52kzGUgxk&t=6s ).

The academy will also include some volunteer opportunities for hands-on project-based creative activities in the recycled environmental art park on the Lehigh campus inspired by Mr. Imagination.
