Forecast Music is an adventurous new music group based in North Carolina. The non-profit is made up of some of the world’s finest composers and performers who call the Triad home. Forecast presents hour-long concerts of innovative new compositions in relaxed alternative performance spaces. Their first Triad performance at the Garage in Winston-Salem was a big hit with Classical Voice NC calling it “...the most successful formula for concerts of contemporary music.” Forecast is the brainchild of composer Eric Schwartz, and coming up on Saturday night, February 18 at 8pm in The Community Arts Café in Winston-Salem, you can hear his music composed for the classic 1920s silent film Nosferatu performed live by some of the region’s finest musicians. Eric’s music combines the sophisticated unpredictability of contemporary chamber music and just a pinch of electronica with the post-modern wackiness of experimental theatre to create a living, breathing commentary about the action on screen. The multimedia event is bound to give you an entirely new perspective on this symphony of horrors.
Eric's new CD OYOU is set for release on February 21, on cdbaby.

Triad Arts Up Close Scheduling Policies and Procedures
Scheduling for TAUC is done on a first-come, first-served basis in order to ensure equal access to coverage for all artists and arts organizations in the Piedmont Triad.
If you would like to arrange a broadcast date for TAUC, please call David Ford at 336.758.8853 (office) or email triadarts@wfu.edu. If you do not hear back from David within 2 business days, please make another attempt to contact him.
Please note: David is not able to respond to press releases or season calendars.
Plan to contact David 6 to 8 weeks prior to your event to arrange a broadcast date. This will not guarantee that there will be space available, but the month and a half lead time improves the likelihood that TAUC will be able to accommodate you. Some arts organizations plan their seasons many months in advance while others do not. To be fair to all groups, David will not reserve a broadcast date further out than 8 weeks in advance of the event.
In an effort to promote as many different Triad artists as possible, TAUC limits each individual artist and arts organization to three appearances per normal calendar year. Universities will be limited to two programs per academic calendar year per department (i.e. 2 TAUC shows to promote theatre department events; 2 TAUC shows to promote music department events, etc.).
We occasionally air rebroadcast TAUC programs. These encores frequently coincide with current or upcoming events, and for that reason they are scheduled on a week-to-week basis versus 6-8 weeks in advance. If you have an upcoming event, performance, milestone, exhibition, etc., and you feel that a repeat of one of your previous interviews on TAUC would be an appropriate way to promote it, please bring it to David's attention.
