Sunday, February 26, 2006 at 2:00pm: Suppose We Compose: You might have an idea how visual artists create their masterpieces, be they paintings, sculpture or design. But just how do composers create their feasts for the ears? We'll explore different methods of musical composition, see how similar they are to visual artists' techniques and we'll even do some experimental group composing!
