For many years, the
Fredericksburg Festival of the Arts (FFA) in Fredericksburg, Virginia
has been presenting a chamber music festival, which features the musical
talents of local artists as well as renowned guest artists. FFA also
holds an annual young-artists competition. Winners of the competition
also perform in the chamber music festival. The 22nd Annual Chamber
Music Festival will be presented this coming June.
A few weeks ago, Ugly Chair Productions met
with a few members of the FFA Board of Directors to discuss the
production of a documentary chronicling the events leading up to the
Festival as well as the Festival performances ... and the organization's
efforts in promoting the performing arts in the Fredericksburg area.
Their efforts go far beyond the production of the annual music festival
each year. Other topics, such as the organization's outreach efforts
with the local schools, will also be included in the documentary.
The documentary will also highlight the cultural significance of the
visual and performing arts in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and the
surrounding areas.
It is
anticipated that the documentary will be approximately one hour in
length. Upon completion of the edit, it will be encoded into chapters to
be posted here on the FFA website. In the mean time, follow the
progress of the production of the FredFest Documentary by watching the
monthly trailers for "Our Town's Best Kept Secret."
Enjoy!
