"Morton Feldman and the Abstract Expressionist Painters of New York"

Wake Forest University Professor of Music Louis Goldstein will explore associations between Feldman and abstract painters, and also perform some of Feldman's piano music. Goldstein’s most recent recording of Morton Feldman's For Bunita Marcuswas ranked in the top ten modern composition recordings of 2010 by The Wire Magazine.
