Lecture – “Listening and Re-listening: Opening your ears to new sounds”

June 2-2, 2012 at 2:45pm
12th Annual Classical Guitar Weekend

Lecture: Saturday, June 2 from 2:45pm to 4pm
Location: CIM Studio 113 (Get Directions)
Description: Leaving the familiar and comfortable realm of tonality can be daunting – sometimes even unpleasant. Without the pillars of tonic and dominant to provide structure, it can be difficult to get our bearings when listening to a new piece of music. This lecture will demystify the various methods of twenty and twenty-first century composition (especially as they relate to the guitar literature) and offer an approach to listening to new music that will increase both your understanding and enjoyment of this valuable repertoire.
Admission: Open to the public free of charge.
