Lachenmann Quartets at Miller Theatre!

totally, but to be fair it's a Boulez concert, and Mazzoli’s point is interesting.

This book means more to me than any other book I have written. I want to get copies into the hands of everyone who cares about opera or is interested in the broader cultural history of our country.

Please consider buying a copy. Thank you. 🙏

here's a CFP that popped up in my socials that looks great, for all you music & minimalism folks—conference next spring at UM-College Park www.minimalismsociety.net/umd2026

The year 2026 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians, Philip Glass’s Einstein on the Beach, and Catherine Christer Hennix’s The Electric Harpsichord, all epochal works that have helped define minimalism in the world of experimental music and the popular imagination. It is also the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Society for Minimalist Music. In this year of landmark anniversaries, the Tenth International Conference on Music and Minimalism will focus on celebrating and interrogating minimalist and postminimalist music in its many forms, examining its impact across the arts and global culture.

The Tenth International Conference on Music and Minimalism will take place May 7–10, 2026, hosted by the University of Maryland’s School of Music in College Park, MD, right outside Washington, DC. Concerts will include the music of Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Julius Eastman, Meredith Monk, John Adams, and composer and organist Kali Malone.
