Composer-to-Composer Festival:1990

Description

A photocopy mounted on foam core of the "Composer-to-Composer Manifesto" signed on July 11, 1990.

The manifesto states:

"As members of the international Telluride Institute Conference, we have been discussing the disastrous effects of repression on artists around the world.

We affirm the obligation of all artists to make the art they believe in, whatever its style, whatever its message.

Therefore, we abhor censorship in all forms. We commit ourselves to achieving massive increases in the level and breadth of support for art in our society and in all societies.

As composers, we are aware that voices can be distorted, even silenced.

In articulating the sensibilities of a battered world, artists require complete freedom."
