Thinking about Composition # 2, 10/25/2019
from Townsend Center for the Humanities Hosted by Townsend Center for the Humanities
In the second of a series of conversations, we focus on the "how" of composition by bringing together a group of master practitioners working across a wide range of forms and media: acclaimed jazz flutist and composer Nicole Mitchell, who directs Jazz Studies at the University of Pittsburgh; cultural historian Josh Kun, who holds a PhD in Ethnic Studies from UC Berkeley and is director of USC’s Annenberg School of Communication; and poet and scholar Chiyuma Elliott, a faculty member in UC Berkeley’s African American Studies Department and a former Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University. In a conversation moderated by UC Berkeley professor and jazz pianist Myra Melford, panelists share their ideas about what it means to compose.
