Christian Wolff at 90
Self-taught but for composition lessons with John Cage, Christian Wolff was a key member of the post-WWII New York experimental music scene that included Cage, Morton Feldman, Earle Brown, and pianist David Tudor, among others. For the majority of Wolff’s adult life, he served as a professor of classics at Harvard and later Dartmouth, with waves of musical productivity supplementing his career as an academic.
