A lot of people's first experience performing new music is... less than ideal.
And it can be even harder to figure out how to make those experiences better without bruising either the performer or the composer's ego, which is why we've brought a special guest on to help us make new music a better experience for everyone.
In today's episode we break down why schools aren't always the best place to have your first experience with new music, how consent can and should play a real role in the creation of new works, and how to be a better collaborator when working on premieres. Composer, singer, new music aficionado, and friend of the pod Jens Ibsen also comes on to share his experiences and some great advice for singers who want to perform new works. We also get into Oberlin Conservatory's disastrous concert poster and Wiener Philharmoniker's letter to the Met!
