Yarn/Wire is premised on the idea of music in and of the present: music that is created, performed, and heard in the contexts of the present.  Panelists consider how the creative aspects of composition, performance, spontaneous composition, and critical thought participate in the scenes of musical practice in the Twenty-First Century. Our focus will be on the scenes of music in the field of what might be construed as “contemporary classical music,” but our goals will be to consider the broader contexts in which a “new” classical music tradition functions as an integral part of music making in the present.

Join us for new collaborative works for laptops, mechanical instruments, and speakers by Institute faculty Michelle Lou and Bryan Jacobs in Staller Center for the Arts Room 0003.
