Music and Poverty
February 6–8, 2009

A weekend of Discussions and Lectures, Concerts and Parties, Performances and Experiments

What is the relationship of the musician to the disappearing market? What is the significance of the individuation of listening for music’s social importance? What does it mean when the music critic is silent? And does musical poverty have a sound?
Audio Poverty explores the link between music and poverty, from impoverished musical material to the starving artist. Audio Poverty crosses genres in both global and historical terms.
