2011-12 SEASON: WORD MUSIC
WORD MUSIC
This season, Network for New Music explores the art that happens when music meets words.
When composers and musicians are inspired by words — by poems or stories or simple everyday talk between friends — they find new and expressive ways to make those words part of the music itself. Every concert in our 2011-12 season brings together exceptional American composers and virtuoso musicians with the words of American poets, playwrights, and even physicists; every performance is a different and invigorating conversation between artist and audience, with words that are sung, spoken, and silent.
Join us for a season that’s more than melody–it’s a celebration of the vitality of the American creative voice, one that speaks most eloquently when music meets words.
