Planetarymuse Forum: Violist Drew Forde

You might know Drew Forde as ThatViolaKid on Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook. Here at Groupmuse, we've enjoyed his performances in NYC when he was studying at Juilliard, and now in LA where he now lives.

Drew is a violist with a passion for sharing what it's like being a musician, sharing practicing tips, and performing covers of songs on the viola.

The Planetarymuse Forum, a bi-weekly interview/discussion with dynamic artists across the world, is back! And you're invited! 🎉

This project seeks to guide Groupmuse’s work in helping to overcome the historical, cultural and social dominance of (European) ethnocentrism within the western classical music tradition, primarily through broadening our society’s capacity to celebrate historical and contemporary musical traditions of the planet, particularly and imminently through the inclusion and celebration of works by artists of African descent.

Join us on Zoom or Facebook Live for an online forum where we will hear the voice and story of viola superstar Drew Forde.

Then, come watch Drew perform a livestream concert here on Groupmuse on Friday, Sept 2nd, and experience his story come to life through the power of music. Tell a friend to tell a friend--you don't want to miss this intimate two-part program! 🔥

The forum is free 🙌

See you this Monday at 4:30pm Pacific / 7:30 pm Eastern! 🎶

What's the music?
