ELENA GRECO MULTIMEDIA PRODUCTIONS™
Mission Statement
by Elena Greco
ELENA GRECO MULTIMEDIA PRODUCTIONS™ offers a different kind of entertainment, one which actively and uniquely engages both performers and audience, presenting projects that entertain, educate and enliven. EGMP stands for total authenticity in creative expression and a commitment to the highest excellence in every project. It fosters transformation and the expansion of creative energy in both performers and audience, through music, visual art, technology and other creative expressions that expand the senses.
Our Intentions:
- To bring a living-room feel to our performances. We want our performance to be a visceral, enlivening experience for our audience, so we use intimate venues where audience members can see the performers up close and personal. No secrets. Just honest, authentic creative expression at a very high level of artistry.
- To offer creative artists an opportunity to grow creatively and personally. Coaching is offered to assist performers in trusting their creative impulses, to become comfortable interacting authentically with an audience, and to experience the possibilities inherent in performing in the moment.
- To offer pricing that allows attendance by those at all economic levels by using “Suggested Donation” prices. This allows for those with limited means to attend at a minimal, or even no, cost, so that no one is excluded. It also allows those with greater means to enjoy the act of giving by supporting the company with a larger donation.
Our Projects:
- The Flavor of Spain™, an ongoing multimedia concert series which entertains while educating about the rich and extensive genre of Spanish art song, exploring the cultural factors that merge to create the sound of Spanish music, and offering you an experience of this thrilling, passionate genre.
- Concerts for Healing™, a multimedia concert series focusing on issues of health and ecology, uplifting and entertaining through beautiful music while educating about these issues. Opera Reale™, simple but tasteful multimedia productions of operas, both known and unknown, featuring the finest local singers and musicians, focusing on expressing the composer’s musical intent at the highest level.
- The Music Salon™, a monthly performance experience and support group for musicians and poets. In this creative laboratory, professional singers, instrumentalists and poets can perform in a nonjudgmental arena, experiment with repertoire and expression, stretch beyond perceived limitations, and experience the space for spontaneity and improvisation. Guidance in expanding creatively is often offered. A workshop segment that serves and engages the creative artists, offering information, experience or healing, is sometimes offered in lieu of the performance segment of the group.
