American Made: The Art of Manufacturing
American Made: The Art of Manufacturing is a mesmerizing musical and visual tribute to American industry.
Performed live by visual media artists The Now Device in collaboration with orchestras around the country, the show features larger-than-life imagery of local factories and live video of the conductor and musicians.

“Molten red steel and flying blue sparks are not the images one usually takes away from a night at the symphony … their “American Made: The Art of Manufacturing” program melded great music from 20th century American composers to remarkable video of local and national manufacturing companies. The end result was truly spectacular.”

“The Work of The Now Device in local factories generated excitement with workers and business owners that we would never would have reached otherwise. Many of these people attended their first ever symphony concert because of this project.”
“We performed two concerts for area students and educators in our 1500 seat auditorium. The students learned about the good things that are happening in manufacturing today. Our feedback from teachers and administrators on the program was outstanding.”
