Ringdown (Caroline Shaw and Danni Lee Parpan) workshop with composition department (+ Decoda strings)
An open conversation about how musical ideas take shape, this session explores collaboration as a core compositional practice, tracing the journey from initial sketch to realized sound through performer–composer dialogue. Through conversation, examples, and collective listening, Ringdown and Decoda will consider collaboration as an essential practice rooted in curiosity, trust, process, relationship, and experimentation.
