NewMusicBox is a multimedia publication from @NewMusicUSA dedicated to the music of American composers, improvisers, and their champions.



Exciting #NewMusicBox news: we have licensed to @Yale University Library more than 250 video interviews with U.S. composers created by @newmusicbox between 1999 and 2020! Yale Library will digitize and digitally preserve the interviews in its Oral History of American Music collection and make the interviews freely available online for researchers and the public. The interviews feature many of America’s most significant creators of the 20th and 21st centuries, such as @bangonacan founders Michael Gordon, David Lang, and Julia Wolfe (who were the first composers to be interviewed in 1999), Tania León (1999), Elliott Carter (2000), Pauline Oliveros (2000), Carla Bley (2003), David Del Tredici (2003), Gabriela Lena Frank (2008), Tyshawn Sorey @tdrumr41 (2019), and many more. 108 interviews are already available to view, and we are thrilled that this remarkable collection of interviews will be accessible to all!
