Notes & Reviews:

In 2008, Zeitgeist new music ensemble asked 30 Minnesota composers (one for each year of Zeitgeist's existence) to write 150-second long pieces (one second for each year of MN's statehood) as a kind of double celebration event. Ranging from neoclassic to unclassifiable, the results make one thing clear: Zeitgeist has no house style. Their ardent openness has much to do, perhaps everything to do, with the group's longevity, keeping Zeitgeist in tune with the zeitgeist.
