Public Workshop
Christopher Williams: Paix (musicale) perpétuelle

Public Workshop - Ensemble SuperMusique

Through the collaboration of the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, the Goethe-Institut Montreal, Le Vivier and HELLERAU - Europäisches Zentrum Der Künste Dresden, Berlin composer Christopher Williams has received a residency in Montreal. Williams is interested in the social aspects of notation, specifically how groups of artists use musical scores as a resource to create and remake their own music. He believes that the work of improvisers with notation could teach us something about social life and politics in general, and he is exploring this approach in his new laboratory project with Ensemble SuperMusique.
