Harry Partch Festival 2018: Day 3

Twentieth century American composer Harry Partch created an original musical world and hand-hewn instruments on which to perform his microtonal compositions, which continue to inspire and influence musicians and composers today. This festival celebrates the music and influence of this unique composer, whose collection of hand-made musical instruments are in long-term residence at the University of Washington under the curatorship of composer and Partch scholar Charles Corey.

Programs include premieres of new works composed for Partch’s instruments as well as rarely or never-before performed works from the composer’s archives. Other activities, including master classes, demos, and talks, complete this homage to a uniquely American artist.

This is part three of three for this event series. The most up-to-date event listings and program information will be posted on the UW School of Music website.
