Earplay

Michael Zwiebach on October 7, 2009

It's not hard to imagine a small organization like Earplay having a "now what?" moment in the wake of the economic devastation that dried up foundation grants, donations, and other sources of arts funding. But the determined new-music group came up with a winner of a fundraiser. They play composer William Kraft's Vintage Renaissance and Beyond (a recent work co-commissioned by Earplay), and then Peter Sellars, the famous director discusses his new projects.

If you've never heard Sellars talk, then you don't know that it's the thing he does best (or second-best). He can be fascinating, and the opportunity to meet him and ask him questions should not be missed. It's a fine thing for Sellars to donate his time to help out a small organization like Earplay, and we hope the fundraiser is a success.
