This program features a selection of works by experimental composers associated with what is known as the Darmstadt School. Beginning in 1946 Darmstadt, Germany became a meeting place for aspiring avant-garde musicians and artists who came to the city to participate in “The Darmstadt International Summer Courses for New Music.” Composers including Karlheinz Stockhausen, Bruno Bartolozzi, Morton Feldman, and Earle Brown, among others, engaged with alternate forms of composition and notation, including serialism and graphic scores that facilitated called for active involvement on the part of the performer to interpret a given score. This unique event will feature musicians Tracy Andreotti, cello; Henry Skolnick, bassoon; Greg Mills, piano; and Henry Claude, percussion.
