Tiana Grise has been playing the flute for "a million years." She teaches at Minnesota State University-Moorhead, and is Executive Director of the Fargo-Moorhead Area Youth Symphonies. She was playing in a big, resonant room and loved the sound. So she came to the idea of an immersive, continuous performance in such a space. With the help of a grant from The Arts Partnership, she has commissioned a piece to be written for it -- and acquired technology to make it work.
