Coffee Talk with George Meyer

Composer and violinist/fiddler George Meyer will offer an inside look at the creative process behind writing new music. Drawing from his own experiences as a composer, he will discuss where musical ideas come from, what “genre” has to do with anything, how a composition develops from concept to performance, and the challenges and rewards of creating music for today’s audiences.

Whether you are a musician or simply curious about how composers think, this informal conversation will provide a fascinating glimpse into the art and craft of composition. Audience questions and discussion are encouraged.

Coffee Talk programs are free, informal presentations on music topics by ensemble members, staff, and friends.
