Public Trust is a workshop for audience and orchestra: an open-ended dialogue about sound, power, people, and the concert experience. The work features synchronized yawning, mild applause, and a big flashy ending.
The work is controlled by the artist who sits at a table in front of the orchestra. The table is seen live from a birds-eye-view on a closed circuit video stream to the screen above the orchestra. The camera captures two sets of text scores: one set for the orchestra and one set for the audience. The note-card-sized scores are changed throughout the piece to indicate the text found in this score: music that the orchestra is making, the sounds that will be taken by the audience as a communal amateur choir.
