The Borromeo Quartet has been presenting video resdencies for a number of years now. There are three kinds of presentation: One is where the score is displayed during performance or as an aid to explanation. The second is when background material on a composer is displayed in a documentary fashion. The third is the type represented here where free use of the imagination is displayed in creating a video to play synchronized with the music. The purpose of these kind of residencies is to create and environment where children or adults are encouraged to see classical music as an arena which is meant to stimulate our imaginations.

The two videos shown here were filmed at a residency presentation at a public school in Toyama, Japan in connection with the Toyama Chamber Music Festival

All of these video materials have been created by Nicholas Kitchen with the help of Kazumi Minoguchi, Miho Ihara, Jae-Hyun Ahn, the Borromeo Quartet, Christopher Kitchen and X-Plane Flight Simulator Laminar Research
