Discover the world of today’s classical composer and join us on Thursday, October 21, 2021, at 7:00 – 8:00 pm for a talk on 21st Century Classical Composers, presented by CCM faculty member Nicole Parks. You’ll learn about composers making exciting music with new technology. Gone are the days of putting pen to paper. Contemporary composers take advantage of the latest technology, blending musical styles and genres. Today’s composers are pushing the boundaries and exploring creative sounds for audiences of the 21st century.

Joan Tower, Du Yun, Aaron Jay Myers, Angélica Negrón, and Evan Williams are a few of the composers you will be introduced to. Nicole will discuss their music and lives and what makes them an individual voice in the “classical” music world. She’ll delve into their music and share how it is influenced by their experiences and the world around us.

CCM’s Covid policy requires those over 12 must show proof of vaccination, and we ask you to please wear your mask in the building at all times. Thank you.
