Contemporary classical music

Contemporary classical music is where composers engage with the classical tradition while pushing against its boundaries with new techniques, forms, and philosophies of sound. It requires listeners to expand what they expect music to do while still drawing on hundreds of years of harmonic and structural knowledge.
