The Child Is Father to the Man
The Child Is Father to the Man program examines two seminal 20th century composers by presenting their works with those of their students, metaphorically searching for hidden traits expressed in the musical genetics of the next generation. Iannis Xenakis and George Crumb are presented here not as remote figures of genius, but as teacher and mentors, and master craftsman, shaping the future through their connections with the next generations.
Programme:
“All I say is that non-experts often know more than experts and should therefore be consulted and that prophets of truth (including those who use arguments) more often than not are carried along by a visions that clashes with the very events that vision is supposed to be exploring.
”
--Paul K. Feyerabend, Against Method
