NNM on Mind TV

Network for New Music commissioned composer Maurice Wright to write "Darwiniana," a compelling multi-media chamber work premiered in February 2010.  The piece was written in response to the Dialogues with Darwin exhibition at the American Philosophical Society (APS) Museum, which invited visitors to begin their own dialogue with the ideas and writings of Charles Darwin.

Here is a look at the recording process as NNM produces it's newest CD.  Titled "Now Again: Music by Bernard Rands," the CD brings together a virtuoso chamber ensemble, a stellar guest artist, and new music by the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Bernard Rands.  Rands considers Network to be one of the top interpreters of his chamber music in the world, and Network has performed many of his works and commissioned several significant chamber music from him, including some of the music on this CD.
Artistic Director Linda Reichert talks about the process of recording a classical music CD, and why this recording of Rands' music is so important.

As part of its on-going Poetry Project, Network for New Music invited student poets to compose original poetry, which was set to music by promising young composers from the Philadelphia area.  Some of these works were performed on a Network for New Music season concert, and others were given a reading by the Network for New Music Ensemble.


This video invites you to experience part of that reading, and to enjoy the creativity and enthusiasm of the next generation of poets and composers. You can also enjoy the following videos on MiND TV, a non-profit community television broadcast station.

Network for New Music presents Windhorse, a musical and artistic exploration of the relationships between Eastern and Western philosophies and cultures.

Network for New Music commissioned composer Andrea Clearfield to write a major chamber work for the NNM Ensemble. Clearfield traveled to Lo Monthang, a remote region of Nepal, with visual artist Maureen Drdak. There they gathered samples of the art and sounds of the indigenous Tibetan Buddhist culture, and together with choreographer Manfred Fischbeck, they created a collaborative work called "Lung-Ta, the Windhorse." This work features sounds and images related to the Tibetan Buddhist prayer flags known as "lung-ta," which often depict a winged horse riding the wind as it carries the prayers of the faithful to heaven. The music, art, and dance come together in a prayer for peace and the planet we all share.
