After 24 years at the helm, Frank J. Oteri, editor of @NewMusicUSA's multi-media publication NewMusicBox, will be stepping down from his position at the end of August after joining the full-time faculty of @TheNewSchool's College of Performing Arts (which includes the Mannes School of Music).
Oteri has been editor of @newmusicbox since it was launched in 1999 at the American Music Center as the first-of-its-kind web magazine, covering the creation of new music across the US by providing a vital platform for creators to speak about issues relevant to them in their own words. NewMusicBox has published over 7,000 stories in the 24 years since, featuring artists from across the musical spectrum, and in written, video and audio formats.
@NewMusicUSA will use this period of change to celebrate the vast accomplishments of the publication's past, as well as look toward its future by asking the organization's diverse community of creators, organizations and NewMusicBox readers for feedback on how this resource can best serve them going forward.

The hair-raising sensation of @FestivalAvignon so far has been Brazil's Carolina Bianchi - who spends much of her show unconscious after ingesting something akin to a date rape drug. I couldn't sleep afterwards, and I know I'm not alone: nytimes.com/2023/07/12/theat…
