Admission: FREE

A lecture on the early electronic music of Luigi
Nono by musicologist Veniero Rizzardi featuring a
discussion of Nono's "Découvrir la subversion:
Hommage à Edmond Jabès" and other works. Nono
(1924-1990) was a leading avant-garde composer in
Europe during the 1950s and 60s. As his career
progressed he avoided most normal concert genres
in favor of opera and electronic music. Being a
committed socialist, he also made frequent use of
political texts in his pieces.
