Parameters with Regina Sadowski: February 9, 2014

What happens when faculty, student and audience composers use the same parameters to create a piece? Will the music sound similar or can the possibilities be endless? On February 9th, BSM faculty Regina Sadowski and guest violinist Gregor Katzis performed a recital entitled "Parameters" which aimed to answer those questions.
