ANNOUNCEMENT: Summer Study-Abroad Program, Eastman School of Music, Pairs, 4 Jun - 2 July 2023

[AMS]

Dear AMS colleagues,

Several spaces are still available in the Eastman School of Music's summer study-abroad program in Paris (https://summer.esm.rochester.edu/course/paris/), offered in conjunction with IRCAM's ManiFeste-2023 festival of contemporary music and the ManiFeste Academy. We have extended the deadline to apply until Wednesday, February 15, 2023.

Theory 402a (Theory and Analysis of Contemporary Music) is a three-credit course designed for graduate students and advanced undergraduates: theorists, composers, musicologists, and performers are all welcome. Course topics will include spectral music, microtonality, computer-aided composition, and live electronics. The course will run from June 4 to July 2, and includes participation in IRCAM's summer Academy at IRCAM and attendance at all of the festival's events. This year's festival will celebrate the anniversaries of Edgard Varèse (140 years) and György Ligeti (100 years) and includes music by Rebecca Saunders, Sasha Blondeau, Kaija Saariaho, Gérard Grisey, and Sina Fallahzadeh.
