Functional orchestration is an approach to orchestration (orchestration practice as well as music theory and orchestration analysis) that attempts to link orchestration techniques with perceptual effects by considering their musical and perceptual goals (functions).

The ACTOR Diversity (East Asian) subgroup is having a meeting to discuss Xu Yi's Plein du vide, in conjunction with the live@CIRMMT performance by the McGill Contemporary Ensemble on 13 November. The meeting is open to everyone in ACTOR and CIRMMT who might be interested in discussing the piece from an analyst, conductor, performer perspective.
This will be a general planning and discussion meeting. It would be great to hear a quick update/report/forecast from each of the workgroups if possible (especially since we're now expanding with the addition of the Sub-Saharan Africa/Diaspora group and the Middle Eastern/South Asian group as well as the original Chinese/East Asian, Pop Music, and Gender Diversity groups).
Since we'll all be meeting together, this will also be a good opportunity to talk about questions of diversity in the ACTOR project more broadly... and especially areas where we could propose new initiatives or plan collaborations across the subgroups. Looking forward to seeing you on Monday the 25th!
Hi everyone,
Our next East Asian subgroup meeting will be happening next Monday 27 September at 11am.
See you all soon!

Ok y'all, the Sub-Saharan African & Afro-Diasporic group will meet at 10:30amPST (11:30MST/12:30CST/1:30EST) on Friday September 10. This may be our last meeting for a little while, so, if you're interested, don't miss it! If you can't make it, though, don't fret - we will post meeting notes after. We will send a Zoom link when we get a bit closer.
Juanita Marchand Knight, Joshua Rosner, and Jason Winikof would like to invite all interested people to the first organizational meeting of the African and Afro-diasporic Music Subgroup. We will meet on Friday August 20th at 10amPacific (11Mountain / 12Central / 1pmEastern). We apologize for the late notice. However this is just an organizational meeting and the plan is for there to be more substantial meetings moving forward. So, if you can’t make this, don’t fret! We will report back after this meeting and look forward to hearing from anyone who can make it then.
