Contemporary Musical Arts at NEC
70 videos • 1,993 views • by New England Conservatory Contemporary Musical Arts liberates the idea of improvisation from any specific genre, and reflects what’s been going on for years among musicians all over the world. Former NEC president Gunther Schuller was already aware of the changes in the music world in the 1950s when he coined the term Third Stream, implying that the music of today is almost inevitably a hybrid, and Third Stream was the name of our department for its first twenty years, under the leadership of our visionary founding chair, Ran Blake. Each year, our selective and diverse student body transforms itself into a vibrant and supportive musical community, sharing everything they bring to the table with one another and acting as a catalyst for musical adventures no one could have anticipated. With its legacy of innovation, its wide range of performance opportunities, and its commitment to musical excellence, NEC is the perfect home for Contemporary Musical Arts.
