Contemporary music cannot be fully understood through technique or information alone.

Behind the sounds written on the score lie ways of thinking: how composers organize sound, and how performers realize it through their bodies.

In this lesson, we engage with the relationship between thought, the body, and sound, and explore contemporary music deeply as a living practice.
