    Concert
    In the fall of 2008 students of the North Allegheny Multimedia Classes created four channel video works that interpreted and were inspired by orchestral and choral music and that accompanied performances at the North Allegheny orchestra and choral concerts. Students carefully listened, critically analyzed and researched the music to develop the themes and style of the videos. They planned, shot, and edited in teams that created the videos for each movement of the music.
