About the project:
In its second phase, The Response Project created seven innovative pieces for piano + violin, written by seven young composers in response to one simple phrase:
ON BEHALF
Composers were invited to consider
- how this phrase impacts them personally, politically, and/or artistically
- potential manifestations of the phrase within musical composition
- what this phrase means within the context of musical performance
Each of our seven composers have chosen to speak "on behalf" of an idea, person, community, or condition.
