Big week for contemporary performance |

NEC Summer School offers opportunities for intensive study in a wide range of topics. Because most of the intensive institutes are performance-oriented, this results in a wealth of concerts for Boston music lovers.
Starting June 19, Stephen Drury (in photo) produces six evenings of new music for piano and other instruments as part of his Summer Institute for Contemporary Performance Practice, starting with visiting composer/pianist Charlemagne Palestine, and continuing with a residency by composer Michael Finnissy, sponsored by the BnG Foundation. Palestine's visit is coproduced by Non-Event.
June 23 and 24 brings faculty concerts from Boston Bass Bash 2006: among the performers, David Murray and Rufus Reid. |

What's a quodlibet? |
 |

When a quodlibet isn't "a musical medley or fantasia" (New International Dictionary of Music), it's an assortment of NEC news items. Such items as: Charles Schlueter's retirement from the BSO (in photo) ... an NEC student making waves at a competition ... or just a fun fact that has crossed the editor's desk.
