Music Island Concerts was established in 2007 as an artist collective for the presentation of live “art” music within Second Life.  Founded by Kate Miranda as a project of the Cedar Island Open-learning community, the series has collaborated in the presentation of projects and series with some of Second Life’s most well-known musicians, artists and educators.

Projects have ranged from a full symphony concert featuring Sinfonia Leeds (a UK community orchestra) to not-possible-in-real-life experimental multi-media art to the 2009 Persieds festival of music, art, literature and lectures inspired by a unifying theme of meteors and falling stars and Storm in a Teacup, another multimedia presentation .
