A festival exploring Elliot Carter's work
March 8, 2006 - The U of M School of Music and the SPCO are collaborating on a festival exploring Elliot Carter's confounding work.
On first hearing, Elliott Carter's music sounds chaotic. It doesn't fit into preconceived notions of what "classical" music should sound like. There's no single, steady rhythmic pulse or recurring melodic themes to grab onto.
