And They Persist

A conversation with contemporary composers about what it means to pursue an isolated existence in music. This event will feature composers who represent various lived experiences and distinct individual artistic voices. A panel discussion will illuminate the often-undiscussed features of a composer’s working life and the tenacity and perseverance required to bring their music to life.

Co-hosted by Assistant Dean of Artistic and Social Change Ian Saunders and Composition Department Chair Alexandra du Bois, panelist composers include Wind and Brass Department Chair Andy Kozar and composer Matthew Evan Taylor, plus more to be announced!
