On February 25 & 26, 2012, Greenwich House Music School (GHMS) and North River Music present Ne(x)tworks in Music Without Dance, a festival focusing on recent and historical musical works originally created for performance with choreographed movement. Programed and performed by Ne(x)tworks (GHMS’s Ensemble-In-Residence), Music Without Dance’s two concert programs include music by several ensemble member composers as well as guests such as John King, Jon Gibson, Annea Lockwood, and David Behrman. On the afternoon of the 26th, Ne(x)tworks and North River Music host a panel event with several featured composers and a number of local choreographers including Yoshiko Chuma, among others. Topics for discussion include the evolving dialectic between contemporary dance and music communities, working processes and collaborative models, and how music functions in the context of dance or theater versus the effect of music in concert format.
