Eugene Lew reflects on a year without live performances During the pandemic, the lecturer and director of Sound and Music Technology in the Department of Music switched from organizing live performance events to collaborative online technology.
Fifteen months ago, most in-person musical performances stopped abruptly when COVID lockdowns began. Before then, Eugene Lew, lecturer and director of Sound and Music Technology in the Department of Music, had been going to at least one performance a week, and organized them for others. His events included Moon Viewing Platform, a large-scale performance and gathering space in the open air that featured music and videos, and MUSICA PRACTICA / ELETTRONICA VIVA, a series of electronic music performances and events, which continues to be made possible by a Sachs Art Grant.
