About Movement In Music Ensemble (MIME)
Memorized music, no conductor, choreographed movement.
Inspired by the great James Ross, previous artistic director at University of Maryland, MIME was created to provide audiences with a unique experience which not only involves traditional music but also provides a visual presentation of the musicians themselves. MIME does something that no other professional orchestra does by creating unique choreography and playing entirely from memory and without aid of a conductor.
