Tudor 100 assembles musicians, artists, academics and curators for a two day programme celebrating the life and work of the pioneering electronic composer and pianist David Tudor to mark the centenary year.

Through performances, screenings and discussions, the event sheds light on the far-reaching and influential legacy of Tudor's practice connecting the histories of art, music and dance. The programme reflects on both his individual and collaborative work, revealing his unique view of the possibilities of electronic music and media—an outlook that shaped distinctive explorations of space, sound and materiality, addressing areas of interaction, resonance and the compositional margins between order and chaos.

Emerging as a pianist-in-residence at Black Mountain College he performed works for John Cage as well as Boulez and Stockhausen before embarking on a solo career in 1964 of radical compositions through circuitry, objects, multimedia actions and environmental interventions that spanned three decades. The programme explores Tudor’s uncompromising artistic trajectory and the unique contribution he made to the evolution of the international avant-garde.
