UCLA music theory faculty debuted new music and encouraged listeners to explore contemporary compositions during an Oct. 28 event in Schoenberg Hall.
“Theoreticals Return” featured a mix of contemporary classical, electronic and improvised pieces from 11 music faculty members. The group, which calls itself “Theoreticals,” formed during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide a remote concert experience for students.
“Anytime you go to a new music concert, you never know if the next piece you’re going to hear is the next Beethoven’s Fifth,” said concert curator and composer Dante de Silva. “So come, check it out. If you don’t like it, that’s okay – but at least be part of the community.”
