Each year, Emory CompFest brings innovative national and international musicians to Emory, where they work with students and faculty, and present their music in concert to the greater-Atlanta community. We seek artists who work in ways that expand traditional compositional frameworks and who can offer exciting and meaningful creative exchanges with the community. This year’s CompFest is a special collaboration organized jointly with Georgia Tech's School of Music. CompFest 2024: Ecologies of Sound presents a series of performances and other events that examine our sonic relationships to the more-than-human world and our planet's dramatically shifting soundscape.
Headlining this year's CompFest is the internationally acclaimed New York-based piano and percussion quartet Yarn/Wire. The ensemble will perform the music of Annea Lockwood, a legendary composer, sound artist, and acoustic ecologist and member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Also, Yarn/Wire will perform the Fromm Foundation-supported premiere of Emory faculty composer Katherine Young's BIOMES 6.0.
