Events

Morton Subotnick, a pioneer in the development of electronic music and an innovator in works involving instruments and other media, opens Greenwich House Music School's acclaimed North River Music series on September 15th with one of two discussions he will conduct for North River Music’s 26th season. For the first, he will focus on his works from 1963-1973, including a short performance of his celebrated piece "Silver Apples of the Moon." Commissioned by Nonesuch Records in 1967, it was the first time an original large-scale composition had been created specifically for the disc medium – a conscious acknowledgment that the home stereo system constituted a present-day form of chamber music. With its creation was born a new music genre that anticipated the living room as a venue.

Subotnick will be available to meet members of the public at a reception following the event.
