 al and present-day status. When musical visionaries Gunther Schuller and R
 an Blake founded the groundbreaking Third Stream Department in 1972\, they
  inaugurated a rich conversation between multiple musical styles and commu
 nities. Tonight's concert traces the cutting edge at NEC\, from the earlie
 st days of the Third Stream department to present-day innovations under th
 e department's current name\, Contemporary Improvisation.\nThe CI program 
 trains musicians to broaden their musical palettes and develop unique voic
 es as composer/performer/improvisers. Compositions&mdash\;selected by Gunt
 her Schuller&mdash\;trace a nearly hundred-year history of stylistic cross
 ings and radical innovations. Current CI students show how a departmental 
 tradition of innovation continues today in a program of original compositi
 ons and re-compositions developed in weekly workshops directed by Tanya Ka
 lmanovitch and CI faculty.\nProgram to include:\nRan Blake performs an imp
