On the occasion of the Fromm Music Foundation concert highlighting the last two decades of her groundbreaking work, the visionary composer Annea Lockwood sits down with writer, photographer, and art historian Teju Cole. Through conversation, they will explore the remarkable collaborative dimensions of Lockwood’s compositional process, with special attention to the works featured on the November 6 performance––Becoming Air (2018), Jitterbug (2007), Buoyant (2013), and Into the Vanishing Point (2019)––and invite the audience into the dialogue. The talk will open with a performance of Lockwood’s bayou borne (2016) by the Harvard New Music Ensemble.

- Moderated by Teju Cole, writer, photographer, art historian, and Gore Vidal Professor of the Practice of Creative Writing
