BURLINGTON, Mass. -- (Business Wire)
Avid®
(NASDAQ:
AVID) today announced its continued partnership with the non-profit John
Lennon Educational Tour Bus by supporting the new mobile recording
studio on its debut European tour. Yoko Ono Lennon will unveil the
European bus today in Liverpool, before the tour kicks off in London in
June. She is co-founder of the project, which is dedicated to providing
the young people of Europe with free hands-on access to state-of-the-art
studios as a way of inspiring them to create original projects
reflective of their ideas, values, and creativity.
Avid has a longstanding relationship with the John Lennon Educational
Tour Bus, having partnered as a headline sponsor of the original sister
bus in the US for the past nine years. The European bus is equipped with
the latest Avid technology to help inspire and develop the next
generation of audio, music and video media professionals. The bus’
mobile recording and editing studio is loaded with Avid audio and video
software including the industry-standard digital audio workstations Pro
Tools|HD Native and Pro
Tools|HDX, Sibelius®
music composition and notation software, Media
Composer® nonlinear video editing systems, and Artist
Series control surfaces.
It will be staffed by a crew of three producers/engineers as it visits
local schools, colleges, and festivals, providing free hands-on tours
and workshops where young people can produce original songs, audio
recordings, broadcast quality music videos, and live-stream events.
Chuck Leavell, touring member of The Rolling Stones who is in his 30th
year with the band, recently attended a session on the US bus and said,
“The Lennon Bus is one of the best things to ever happen for young
musicians in modern times. I had the honor to engage with the bus
recently with a group of music students in Atlanta and it was an
absolutely amazing and rewarding experience for me, as well as for the
students. They immediately started collaborating on a song, and within
just a few short hours had finished it, recorded it, and made a video.
It gave them tremendous confidence in their musical pursuits and was a
joy to witness.”
W. Sean Ford, vice president of worldwide marketing for Avid, said, “We
are thrilled to be a sponsor of the new European John Lennon Educational
Tour Bus. Avid has a long history of commitment to the education
community. Our continued partnership with this educational outreach
project lets us nurture the next generation of creative professionals
and inspire kids to become our future storytellers and musicians.”
