Questions of Practice: Composer Judd Greenstein on Audience Expectations

Judd Greenstein is a composer of beat-driven contemporary music. Here he speaks to the question of changing audience expectations and how the growing gap is playing out between the techno-multitasking of our daily lives and the prolonged attention required of concert settings: “I don’t think we are going to know for a while […] what it feels like generationally, in terms of what the art is actually doing differently.”
