ABSTRACTION AND FIGURATION IN MY MUSIC
FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 2021 - 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM - ONLINE

Presented by the Department of Music.

A Corwin Series Lecture featuring composer Francis Dhomont, who will speak on his music and influences in a lecture titled Abstraction and Figuration in My Music.

Francis Dhomont studied under composers Ginette Waldmeier, Charles Koechlin and Nadia Boulanger. In the late 40s, in Paris he intuitively discovered with magnetic wire what French composer Pierre Schaeffer would later call “musique concrète” and consequently conducted solitary experiments with the musical possibilities of sound recording. Later, leaving behind instrumental writing, he dedicated himself exclusively to electroacoustic composition.

This event is free and takes place on Zoom.
