Current Sounds Collective
This flexible ensemble of 2-10 musicians with open instrumentation will work closely with members of 麻豆国产AV’s Ensemble in Residence, Portland new music group . Over the course of the semester, participants will prepare selected works of 21st century chamber music for public performance. In addition, students will be encouraged to engage in this ensemble creatively as composer-performers, who may be called upon to compose short works, to collaborate on group compositions, improvise, interpret graphic scores, and incorporate electronic elements into a largely acoustic context. Register for MUS109 (chamber music) and contact Monica Ohuchi (ohuchimo@reed.edu) for more information or questions.
