Here's a fairly rare opportunity for an #autistic student to do a fully funded PhD on autistic listening, supervised by an autistic professor (me).
Niche, but it's going to be someone's dream. If that's you, get in touch.

Being autistic can be so precarious- always just one moment away from the rug being pulled out from under you.
The high functioning / low functioning binary is constructed by people who DO NOT KNOW.
I KNOW because me and my family live it. I will use this knowledge for good.

Unsure if the hive mind still functions like it did but I'm looking for works with similar line ups to Four Organs by Reich preferably by female or non binary composers.

The great Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz was born 115 years ago today. Most celebrated for her chamber and orchestral music, she also wrote stage works – and a radio opera, Przygoda Króla Artura (The Adventure of King Arthur).

Word of the day, should it be needed, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude, an aversion to other people, and the desire to be left alone.

Part of the magic of the Festival has been in bringing musicians together in unexpected ways, when one sound check over ran Emma Lloyd & Moussa Dembélé struck up a jam session in another room and let us listen in. Unplanned, unexpected, and unmissable!
