California Festival • 2023
https://www.cafestival.org/excursions/the-world-of-harry-partch/
The California Festival presents a chronological survey of the extraordinary music and instruments of California’s most notorious American Maverick who, between 1930 and 1972, created one of the most amazing bodies of sensually alluring and emotionally powerful music of the 20th century. KPFK’s John Schneider will be your guide through this unique garden of delights, as well as recordings of the composer himself who was never shy about sharing his fascinating vision of “Musical Truth.”
