John Young was guest composer at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester USA last week (28.10 – 1.11). He gave two lectures to groups of undergraduate and doctoral students and a 90-minute presentation on his work at the Eastman Composition Department seminar, as well as individual masterclasses for doctoral students.
On the final evening of his visit John also presented two works in a concert hosted by the Eastman electroacoustic music department—EMuSE—sharing the programme with Eastman students and faculty members in the school’s new Hatch Recital Hall: the acousmatic work Arioso (2021) and a new work composed for Eastman DMA students Tremolo (2024) for bass clarinet, viola, piano and electroacoustic sounds.
