10 chamber music ensembles from the UA Fred Fox School of Music will serenade hundreds of Meet Me At Maynards walkers along a trail along a series of downtown murals in a perfect convergence of art and movement.

Musical Murals is the latest in an effort by the University of Arizona Music School to engage with the community.

“Art is for everyone, and if you can bring it to people where they are, they can experience it,” said Elizabeth Schauer, director of choir activities, who came up with the idea on Monday to partner with Meet Me At Maynards . Nov 8

Schauer tapped her colleague Marissa Olegario from the University of Arizona, who teaches bassoon and regularly attends the weekly Meet Me At Maynards events. Schauer said Olegario did the heavy lifting, setting the route and choosing the murals on which the music students will perform.

“She’s really creative, energetic and smart, and interested in art and health,” Schauer said of Olegario, who she believed was also closely associated with the school’s chamber music community.

The 10 Ensembles – 7Reed5 Reed Quintet, Beat-Cats! from UA Percussion Studio, Fred Fox Graduate Wind Quintet, Creosote Saxophone Quartet, Q’iru Clarinet and Guitar Duo, Arizona and Symphonic Choir, Fred Fox Graduate String Quartet, Fred Fox Brass Ensemble, UA Double Reed Ensemble and the Fred Fox Jazz Ensemble – will perform for around 10 minutes along the route, which, according to Schauer, gives the participants the opportunity to “experience our art”.
