DXARTS Spring Concert: Celebrating John Chowning
Chowning’s most important contribution to the world of music, however, can be found in his compositions, all considered masterpieces of Computer Music: Sabelithe (1971), Turenas (1972), Stria (1977), and Phoné (1981). These pieces will be played during the concert over a state-of-the-art ambisonic sound system. The program will also include Chowning’s piece, Voices (2011), for soprano and live electronics, performed by soprano Maureen Chowning.
