Jennifer Curtis and Friends at UNC

From L - Andrea Bohlman, Jennifer Curtis, Caroline Shaw.

Jennifer Curtis at UNC.  Musical Conversations with Caroline Shaw  Caroline Shaw has a voice with many overtones. A celebrated artist in the chorus of contemporary composer-performers—musicians—, her creative projects grow out of the spark generated by learning, hearing, and crafting sound in close-knit communities. These vibrant and intimate musical conversations nourish and support music-making in the twenty-first century: her visit to UNC invites us to listen into her sound world. Many of Shaw’s compositions grow out of making music for and from the places she has lived and traveled, and the gleaming textures her works invite audiences to join her on personal journeys, sometimes to her native North Carolina.

Shaw generously joins the UNC Department of Music in conversation and musical improvisation to discuss her North Carolina roots, share reflections on her Pulitzer-prize winning “Partita,” and make music with fellow NC-violinist-composer Jennifer Curtis.
