Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame was designed by producer and composer Robert 
Voisey of New York City to create an opportunity for composers to get 
their works performed and heard by audiences around the world. The 
concept is 15 new one-minute works are specifically written for a 
musician or ensemble to perform. The Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame project 
finds and empowers talented musicians who are dedicated champions of 
contemporary new music. This performance will be featuring works written 
for Mary Beth Orr and her unique talents combining singing with playing 
the horn.

This event will present 15 one-minute works from composers: Mitch 
Boucher, Erik Branch, Lydia Lowery Busler, Sara Christie, Andrew 
Desiderio, Thomas Haines, Brian Holmes, Michael Kosch, Michael Laus, 
Matthew Murchison, P. F. Strohm, Jean-Pierre Vial, Anneloes Wolters, 
Justin Writer, and Jianing Yang.

Mary Beth Orr is an elite orchestral musician, soloist, and chamber 
musician. Mary Beth sings traditional Appalachian melodies from her 
childhood to introduce the classical works in the program. So much of 
classical literature is inspired by, and derived from traditional folk 
melodies and are far more connected and complementary to each other than 
many audiences assume. Both of these genres communicate and elevate the 
human spirit and her hope is to connect with audiences from as many 
varied backgrounds as possible, and connect them to each other. More can 
be found at: marybethorr.org

Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame gives a variety of new music by living composers 
to audiences hungry to hear what is being created in today's music 
scene. The Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame project has featured more than 75 
musician/ensembles premiering the works of over 1000 composers in cities 
such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington D.C., Rio de Janeiro, 
Bucharest, and other cities around the globe.

The premiere in Grand Rapids is hosted by AllArtWorks Viewing Studio, 
providing a backdrop of original one-of-a-kind fine art to the vocal and 
horn performance. Guests are encouraged to explore the visual art on
