Zeitgeist Early Music Festival
Morton Feldman
Zeitgeist’s 6th Annual Early Music Festival explores the powerful contributions of our musical pioneers with a celebration of composer Morton Feldman. One of the 20th century’s great visionaries, Feldman’s innovations in music notation and his free-flowing indeterminate music embraced new artistic possibilities and made a lasting impact that continues to shape new music today.
