Composer Tyshawn Sorey's Autoschediasms is a duet for conductor and orchestra that uses the conductor’s vocabulary to generate live composition through cuing specific ensemble members (or a group of musicians) to produce a given sound or perform specific actions. We'll hear it on SymphonyCast, Jan 7th at 8pm.
