Today's Youth
Perform
Today's Music
The New England Conservatory Preparatory School's annual contemporary festival, "Today's Youth Perform Today's Music" was founded in 1991 by faculty members Rodney Lister and John Ziarko to give students and faculty the opportunity to study the performance skills needed for contemporary music. Featured composers work closely with students in workshops, seminars, and coachings.
In the recent past, there has been a surge of interest among Preparatory School students to study composition, and perform their own music and that of their friends. This has become an integral part of the festival.
Closing out the day's activities, students coached by jazz pianist Eyran Katsenelenbogen perform.
