Public invited to lecture on musical creativity
Weatherford College adjunct instructor Dr. Zvony Nagy invites the public to his lecture
“Poiesis and the Typologies of Musical Creativity” at 10 a.m. Monday, May 15, in the
Alkek Fine Arts Center.
“Poiesis” is derived from Greek and refers to the actions of bringing something into existence.
“This involves different creative processes, forms of knowledge and perspectives,” Nagy said. “It results in a type of creativity independent of other creative processes and their own creative spaces, providing a different perspective on our understanding of musical creativity.”
Nagy is a composer, scholar and performer with a Doctor of Music degree from Northwestern University. He is the author of “Embodiment of Musical Creativity: The Cognitive and Performative Causality of Music Composition.”
