One year ago I had the great pleasure to meet flutist Elizabeth McNutt when she and composer Andrew May of Sounds Modern invited local musicians to participate in the debut of UNSET, Andrew's
site-specific sound composition for Donald Judd's works in concrete at
the Chinati Foundation.
I was first impressed by Sounds Modern – and Elizabeth's flute-playing
in particular – in 2013 when they brought a sublime performance of
Morton Feldman's Crippled Symmetry to Marfa.
I'm very grateful to Elizabeth for inviting me to respond to a few very thoughtful questions for her New Music Pioneer blog! Here's the interview.
