In 2 sessions, we debunk the popular myth that classical music is “old and boring.” Exploring music written since 1950 through the present, we discover the fresh, exciting, and outrageous sounds of what classical music really is. By introducing students to today's music, rather than the classics of 200 years ago, we swing open a backdoor of interest that can lead to a greater respect and understanding of the classical Greats. Composers discussed range from experimenters John Cage and Karl Stockhausen to pop artists Björk and Radiohead. This program is part of Virtual Music Studio.
A Manhattan School of Music teaching artist will lead an interactive discussion.
