Longy’s performance are free and open to the public, but please register in advance.
On Thursday, July 4th at 1:30 PM, the performers of Longy’s Divergent Studio will present a concert of brand new pieces written by the composers of the festival. The title of the program, Divergent Speed, rings true, as composition students are given only 24 hours to write 2 minutes of music for small mixed ensembles, who are then given an additional 24 hours to learn and rehearse the music. This concert is a true test of students’ artistry, limiting opportunity for refinement, and relying totally on raw creativity.
