Bio/Research
Jack Boss is an academic expert in music composition, theory and analysis. At the University of Oregon, he is a professor of music theory and composition. Jack is interested in the ways listeners can make sense of music that is difficult and dissonant. His research focuses on the coherence of music in the 20th century and how to understand dissonant music as an outgrowth of older musical traditions. Jack can speak about the relevancy of classical music and on finding an audience for 20th century classical music. His book Schoenberg's Twelve-Tone Music: Symmetry and the Musical Idea, won the 2015 Wallace Berry Award, the top national book award for music theory and analysis.
