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.

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.
