Description:
Cornucopia Arts aim is to produce a show called "Julliard Discoveries," which is a mixed animation-live action show educating pre-schoolers (2-5 yrs) on music and art. Sofi and her dog Pippin travel from her animated world filled with milk carton homes and trumpet-nosed elephants into the real world of Brightspark Art School where she discovers the power and beauty of music and art. The company is headed by Edward Bilous, who is one of the most eclectic and versatile composers of his generation. Bilous has been on the faculty of the Juilliard School since 1986 and is a nationally recognized leader in the field of arts education. Bilous has conducted master classes and seminars in arts education throughout the US and Japan including the Lincoln Center Institute, The Tanglewood Institute, Columbia University, The Leonard Bernstein Center for Arts and Education, Chamber Music America and the Orchestra Forum. Along with a team of highly accomplished individuals, Bilous hopes to create a quality product that does not exsist, yet is in high demand among parents who value a well rounded education for their children.
