Classical Music Futures: Practices of Innovation
Edited by Neil T. Smith, Peter Peters and Karoly Molina
In this collection, initiated by the Maastricht Centre for the Innovation of Classical Music, contributing authors show how contrasting ideas of the future of classical music can effect change in the present. The volume offers theoretical and practical contributions, ranging from conference roundtable transcripts, practice-based research papers, reflections on concert experiments by organizers, diary entries, and polemics. The edited collection has been published by Open Book Publishers based in the UK and is open access.
