“We have started to make music of today part of our normal way of doing business. We’re not restricting music of living composers to a far corner of the summer and calling it ‘new music week.’ That sort of new-music ghetto is, to me, not the best way to present it. It suggests that new music is its own thing, and not connected with anything else. We think this music belongs on the same concert as Beethoven, Dvorak, and Stravinsky.”
