This is a collective celebration of Mort Subotnick’s 90th birthday, from friends, family, former students, and those who have been significantly influenced by his music and innovations. Mort’s music and ideas are central to all that will be presented, including excerpts from his compositions and music from his seminal works (Silver Apples, Butterfly series, Wild Bull, etc.). Subotnick is one of the pioneers in the development of electronic music and multi-media performance and an innovator in works involving instruments and other media.
