NEC Contemporary Musical Arts Presents Visionaries and Eccentrics: Ives' Problem Children

With his concept of musical transcendentalism, Charles Ives paved the way for a century of experimentation in multiple modes of musical expression. Tonight, CMA students explore the worlds of collage, postmodernism, and other genres of multi-layered music, including rock, jazz, funk, noise, and other contemporary musical art forms, drawing on the music of Brian Wilson, Captain Beefheart, Parliament Funkadelic, Connie Converse, Polly Bradfield, and many others.

Produced by Anthony Coleman and Lautaro Mantilla.
