Modern Classical

Description

History

Modern Classical music emerged as composers sought to break away from the conventions of the Romantic era, experimenting with new forms and sounds. It evolved throughout the 20th century as artists like Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and John Adams introduced minimalist and experimental techniques. The genre continues to evolve today, incorporating digital technology and cross-genre influences.
