Abstract / Program Notes
This panel discussion seeks to illustrate areas of misunderstanding or miscommunication that can occur between composers and the performers of their works. The panel is led by four new music commissioning and performing specialists: two performers and two composers. Through examples from their own experiences, as well as questions and observations from attendees, a productive dialogue will occur wherein a better understanding of the particular needs of performers is understood by composers and performers will gain an appreciation of the challenges for composers.
