The Bang on a Can Summer Music
Festival & Institute at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art is dedicated entirely to adventurous contemporary
music. We will write it. We will perform it. We will think about it and we will talk about it. We will spend three weeks immersed
in recent music that has changed the world. Available studies include Balinese music workshops, improvisation, as well as
performance coaching, master classes, music business seminars and more. Composers will have their works performed. Players
will perform publicly in ensembles sitting alongside their teachers. There are daily performances in the museum galleries,
free and open to the public. And the residency concludes with a six-hour blow-out Marathon Concert featuring performances
by the student/faculty ensembles.
