Programed and performed by Ne(x)tworks (GHMS’s Ensemble-In-Residence), Music Without Dance’s two concert programs include music by several ensemble member composers including Joan La Barbara, Miguel Frasconi, Shelley Burgon, and Christopher McIntyre as well as guests such as John King, Jon Gibson, and Annea Lockwood. Before the concert on the 26th, Ne(x)tworks and North River Music host a panel event with several featured composers and local choreographers including Yoshiko Chuma, Nai-Ni Chen, Katherine Beyar, and Erica Essner. Topics for discussion include the evolving dialectic between contemporary dance and music communities, working processes and collaborative models, and how music functions in the context of dance or theater versus the effect of music in concert format.
