Program 781: Before Other Minds
KALW Broadcast Date: April 15, 2024 | Host: Liam Herb
On this Music from Other Minds, Liam Herb takes us back to the Composer-to-Composer Festival, a proto-Other Minds of sorts, which took place from 1988-1991 in Telluride, CO. Founded by Charles Amirkhanian and John Lifton as an opportunity for composers from across literal and ideological seas to meet and discuss their works, this four year experiment was home to performances by composers like Henry Brant, Pauline Oliveros, John Cage, Conlon Nancarrow, and many more.
