Music's New Sense of Direction at Bennington Conference
Music students and professors gather for the 20th two week Composers Conference at Bennington College. Peter Lewis and Raoul Pleskow pieces, orchestral works, and string quartets compete with renewed modernist forms as performers navigate challenging passages under live composers guidance. The review notes mixed engagement, praising Da vid Walters performance of Pichl and Stefan Wolpe's Form for Piano, while critiquing some works as lacking tension and accessibility. The concerts end with a choral and chamber program conducted by Alan Carter, signaling contemporary composition's push away from traditional rules. Two more concerts remain this week as audiences weigh the defiant new music.
