Dear Silence list -- Northeastern University is hosting the first conference on Earle Brown. Hope some of you can make it! Rebecca

Beyond Notation is a two-day symposium on American avant-garde composer Earle Brown (1926-2002). A native of Massachusetts, Brown studied at Northeastern University and Schillinger House (now Berklee College of Music) before establishing his career in New York and Europe as a groundbreaking composer and conductor of graphic notation and “open form” music. An international group of presenters from music, art, and dance will examine the life and musical legacy of Earle Brown, including Kyle Gann (Bard College),Richard Toop (Sydney Conservatorium), Susan Sollins Brown (President, Earle Brown Music Foundation), Thomas Fichter (Director, Earle Brown Music Foundation), Carolyn Brown (Merce Cunningham Dance Company), Louis Pine, pianists Steffen Schleiermacher (Leipzig, Germany) and Stephen Drury(New England Conservatory), Callithumpian Consort (Boston, MA), andMickey Katz (Boston Symphony Orchestra Chamber Players). The U.S. premiere of Brown's sound installation Music for Galerie Stadler (1964) will be hosted by Gallery 360 at Northeastern University alongside a photo exhibit, January 14-February 26. Events will be held at the Fenway Center of Northeastern University, Blackman Auditorium, and Calderwood Hall of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
