Dr. Harald Kisiedu (GSAS '14, Historical Musicology) and Professor George Lewis have just announced their new bilingual (German-English) edited volume, "Composing While Black": Afrodiasporische Neue Musik Heute / Afrodiasporic New Music Today.
This book presents unique new perspectives on Afrodiasporic contemporary composers active between 1960 and the present, a period that academic inquiry, concert programming, and journalistic accounts have largely ignored up to now, particularly in Europe. This interdisciplinary essay collection engages with opera, orchestral, chamber, instrumental, and electroacoustic music, as well as sound art, conceptual art, and digital intermedia, revealing Afrodiasporic new music as an intercultural, multigenerational space of innovation that offers new subjects, histories, and identities.
