Why we call this project “Fourth Stream”
When does a composition provide too many constraints and inhibit a spontaneous performance? What’s the minimal amount of composed music that’s required to still hold together as a “composition?” Obviously, there are no clear, precise answers to these questions.
FourthStream is a non-profit arts and service organization formed in 2007 to cultivate a support system for creative music in the community and to increase awareness of creative music. FourthStream pursues its mission through funding creative music works, presenting creative music, providing educational programs, assisting career development of member artists, increasing listenership, augmenting and complementing existing services and programs, and networking with the national and international creative music community.
