New Music Help Desk (feat. Caroline Shaw)

The New Music Help Desk is a unique opportunity for composers and performers to get face time with Spektral – to ask pointed questions about notation, feasibility, tuning systems, harmonics, or simply how to stay motivated in the midst of a quarantine.

If you are interested in participating (or just watching), complete this brief form:

We will select a few questions in advance and then open it up to attendees using the Zoom Q&A feature. Which is to say, even if yours is not one of the few chosen beforehand, you can still ask us your question live during the event. If we don't get to your query this time around, have no fear. We’ll keep all submissions in the mix for future Help Desk sessions.

For this event we are bringing you Pulitzer Prize-winning composer/performer Caroline Shaw, an artist who wears her considerable fame lightly and seems to approach creativity from a place of continuous discovery. Performers and composers alike will have in Caroline an incredible resource in the realms of creation, programming, and career and if there’s one thing we know about her it’s that Caroline is unsparing in sharing her expertise – as an active performer, composer, and curator across a panoply of genres.

Please note: this event begins at 3pm (Central). Time Zones…right?
