Wheaton's music department is delighted to welcome scholar and journalist William Robin (UMD College Park). His talk is titled "“Minimalism Is History Now”: Bang on a Can and Minimalism in the Late Twentieth Century". Professor Robin is a regular contributor to the New York Times, and his most recent book Industry is now available from Oxford University Press. Robin's research explores how institutions structure the creation, dissemination, and reception of contemporary classical music in the United States. His research interests also include early American hymnody, Stravinsky, and the European postwar avant-garde.
