Besides his numerous collaborations, he has been commissioning new works, experimenting with electronic instruments, exploring the links between the European tradition and other world music, and involving himself in music education on every level from Sesame Street to Tanglewood.

Ask a Chemistry concentrator if Economics is a science and you will often get an emphatic no; ask a History and Literature concentrator if it falls under the rubric of the humanities and they too are likely to reply in the negative. Pre-meds who are not also science majors also straddle the dividing line between the two camps.
