Composer Philip Corner (b. 1933) is one of the greats of 20th- and 21st-century experimental music. Active since the late 1950s, he’s composed thousands of works exploring the intersection of the classical tradition, post–John Cage experimentalism, and the impulse to forge true creative collaboration between composer and performer.
