NEC Festival: Exploring the Innovation in Music of Ruth Crawford Seeger: Diaphonic Suite I and Beyond

This event will honor the remarkable legacy of Ruth Crawford Seeger’s "Diaphonic Suite I" presenting a variety of student interpretations inspired by its third movement. The NEC community is invited to join students from the Post-Tonal Theories and Practices in composing and improvising short pieces that reflect Crawford's groundbreaking techniques. If you are interested in performing at this event, please reach out to Professors Efstratios Minakakis and Katarina Miljkovic for more details. Join us in celebrating this innovative composer and her enduring influence on contemporary music!

This event is part of the 2024 NEC Festival — a weeklong series taking place from November 10-17 featuring performances, workshops, and more. Explore all of the festival's events here.
